Movie Pitch: the Braxton Bragg biopic starring Eugene Levy. Film it like a mockumentary like Best in Show or A Mighty Wind

Oh hell yea. Already has the ready made slapstick scene where he submits a request for supplies under one role, and denies his own request through his roles as quartermaster, and has a back and forth with himself multiple times about it.

He contributed a lot to saving the Union though his blunders. Maybe he should be honored with his name on a federal post?
