Lee was trained in napoleonic warfare with emphasized strong frontal charges, Lee repeated over many battles used frontal charges often destroying a larger precentage of his own army to route the union
Gettysburg wasn’t an anomaly it wasn’t that Lee suddenly went braindead its when he finally didn’t have enough men to feed into the woodchipper
He was fighting as if he was still a union officer and could easily replace losses he didn’t understand his strategic position and that was his greatest failure as a general

Not surprising. Dude was late 50s at the time and probably under tremendous stress. He didn’t get wasted like Grant for an outlet.
