It seems that in every fight, both comics and show, he lets his emotions get the better of him and then, respectfully, has his ass handed to him.

It just seems unlikely considering he has lived for over a thousand years.

    I think he probably doesn’t really consider too much before going into battle. I feel like from everything I’ve seen of him, he sorta just goes for it, and because of his power set, he doesn’t really worry about the consequences of failing because he knows he will come back regardless of the outcome. I find that to be weird, considering his immortality seems to be dependent on whether someone else chooses to resurrect him or not.

    Over time he is becoming more emotionally unstable due to the sheer amount of trauma and loss he endures. He is horribly depressed and wants to die, but he can’t.

    Abraham Lincoln had a lot of very competent generals and he listened to them.

    At one point in time an inventor showed a lever-action rifle to the President. Lincoln, recognizing immediately that rapid-fire capability and magazines would immediately change warfare, declared that it be adopted. His generals, not appreciating the new invention, said no. He listened to the generals.

    in the first fight he was taken by surprised, which uh famously was a weakness of ol honest abe

    in the next fight from his perspective the last thing he remembers was being betrayed by someone he trusted brutally murder all his friends and then him, I think even the most cold calculating strategist would be blinded by rage

    also strategists can stay calm because they have a degree of detachment making calls from a war room, most of them would not be nearly as cool headed when their on the front lines seeing people die with their own eyes

    Abraham Lincoln wasn’t exactly a mastermind strategist. The South was beating the crap out of the North in the early years of the Civil War despite a massive technological advantage almost entirely due to strategy.

    It took a number of lucky bounces for the Union to end up winning, including the proper people getting promoted into positions of leadership due to the failures/deaths of others and Lee getting overly confident and botching Gettysburg.

    Don’t get me wrong, Lincoln was a great leader, but he was never a military genius of any kind.

    Because Ulysses S Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman won the Civil War for him, Abraham Lincoln was not the General that won the Civil War.

    Experience can be a double edge sword. If things change, which the world has, people can struggle to adapt.

    Think about your grandparents needing assistance with technology and then abandoning it to the things the old way.

    By this line of reasoning , Abraham Lincoln was bad at strategizing since he actually you know, got killed in those circumstances.

    But we know he wasn’t given how he had to navigate his own Congress let alone the seceding states to bring that war to an end

    Perhaps you mean combat strategy? Which again is not some thing I think Lincoln was known for

    Haven’t read the comics, but I feel like I read on here that his brain is only able to process a human’s lifetime worth of memories. So he may only be strategizing off of 100 or so years of input and not thousands.
