Re: Pick three favorite officers from history, and say why you picked them.
Good ol' "Charge them across a mile of open field at an entrenched enemy" Lee, huh?
For me:
Epmaninondas, who crushed Sparta and freed the Helots.
Sherman, who did his level best to destroy the ones who started the Civil War, the Slave holding aristocracy.
And Major Winters, for reasons already mentioned. Tho' Colonel Spear gets a Bad-ass Mother****er honorable mention.

Lee kept the Confederacy in the fight with inferior forces through superb generalship. He was aided by inept leadership of Union armies and had excellent officers under his command. He comes third because of Gettysburg, that great mistake which may have saved the Union.
