Robert E. Lee

Imagine trying to pick the best U.S. General, and you're stuck with Robert E. Lee, the man who turned 'playing both sides' into an art form. Sure, he was tactical, but betting on Lee in the 'Greatest U.S. Generals of All Time' is like choosing a broken compass for a treasure hunt—exciting but probably not ending well. His fans are like die-hard sports fans; they've got excuses and 'what-ifs' for days. Got to love the commitment, though!
