He said: 'Get there firstest with the mostest,'" said Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) in a one-minute floor speech at the beginning of Monday's session in the House of Representatives.
He then called on Congress to fund the war in Iraq.
"Congress needs to send the generals the mostest, Mr. Speaker, needs to send equipment and personnel that is needed. Doing this will help our mission in spite of the Congressional Surrender Group's desire to retreat and quit," he added.
Poe left out Forrest's history as a founder of the Ku Klux Klan in addition to fighting on the side of the Confederacy.
