If John Bell Hood had had his head blown off instead of his leg, he'd probably be remembered as fondly as Jackson.

Fortunately (for the Union), he survived to "defend" Atlanta, then invade Tennessee. The Battle of Franklin being in that comedy of errors. The base wasn't named after him until 1942. By people who read enough history to know Hood commanded the Texas brigade, but not enough to know how he commanded it.

I salute General Hood on account that he's responsible for more dead Confederates than any two Union Generals.
