" Suh!... Respectfully suh, suh...don't just stand there looking like Jason Robards with your arms folded, suh. R...I....A is being overrun by grizz dippers, suh!"

  I believe he was really a good man,  and he was still an American, just on the wrong side lol.  General Grant treated him with respect upon his surrender.

OK....Enough with the history lesson lol.  I think it would be interesting to hear his thoughts on various issues.

Lincoln asked him to command the Union army, but Lee decided he could not turn his back on his Southern heritage. I would probably ask him if he regretted his decision, particularly when it became obvious that the South was going to lose.

I'd like to sit down with him, Heinz Guderien, Wellington, Gall, and Sun Tzu to discuss military theory.

Probably a very good man stuck on the wrong side, like Rommel.

There's no denying he was one of the best generals, if not the best, in history. He was revered as a man of honor, morals, and dignity. A true role model for all Americans.
