Mojtaba Ahmadi? File under Jubal Early

Before Grant’s decisive 1864 campaign began, Lee and his generals during the winter of 1863-64 observed the Union Army’s camp near Washington. Among them was General Jubal Early. Early was a bad and angry old man who actually would never surrender, leaving the USA after the war by sneaking into Mexico and then Canada after heading for Texas looking for Confederate holdouts.

Upon seeing the size of the opposing army Early is reputed to have begun cursing them and wishing them dead. Lee objected to this behavior as unbecoming to a general officer. As Lee turned to leave Early was observed to respond “General, sir, I wish they were all dead and in Hell.”

According to Douglas Southall Freeman, Lee smiled but kept going.

And so to Mojtaba Ahmadi the head of Iran cyberwarfare forces

Iranian cyber warfare commander shot dead in suspected assassination

The head of Iran’s cyber warfare programme has been shot dead, triggering further accusations that outside powers are carrying out targeted assassinations of key figures in the country’s security apparatus.

Mojtaba Ahmadi, who served as commander of the Cyber War Headquarters, was found dead in a wooded area near the town of Karaj, north-west of the capital, Tehran. Five Iranian nuclear scientists and the head of the country’s ballistic missile programme have been killed since 2007. The regime has accused Israel’s external intelligence agency, the Mossad, of carrying out these assassinations.

Ahmadi was last seen leaving his home for work on Saturday. He was later found with two bullets in the heart, according to Alborz, a website linked to the Revolutionary Guard Corps. “I could see two bullet wounds on his body and the extent of his injuries indicated that he had been assassinated from a close range with a pistol,” an eyewitness told the website.

Who knows, maybe he was depressed and shot himself in the heart twice?

At any rate, as General Early said….
