It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command our forces, and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers.

- Robert E. Lee, 1863

"Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale, and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled or hanged." ~ President Abraham Lincoln, 1863
