Facing Difficult Choices in Battle
Hancock
They've occupied all the buildings along the riverfront. Our boys will be lining up those pontoon bridges under a hail of lead. Once across, the rebs are sure to make us pay for every block. Beyond the town is the canal, which cuts across this open field - a field we'll have to cross to reach their entrenchments on Marye's Heights. Another difficult obstacle in the face of artillery fire.
[sarcastically]
Couch
Down to our left, we could push through. Turn Jackson's lines, push him back, trap Longstreet on top of the hill, surround him. It's possible.
Hancock
Turn Jackson's lines? No, General, we'll meet them head-on...and it'll be a bloody mess. We'll march up to that hill over there, and we'll eat their artillery fire all the way across this field.
