Teddy planned out a regiment of Super Rough Riders, with himself as a major general. His naivete about the hard reality of modern warfare showed in his belief that horse cavalry could be effective against the whirlwind of iron at the Western Front. Machine guns had turned horse-mounted charges into an amazingly effective form of group suicide.

He went to the Plattsburg training camp, where he watched 1400 upper class men, including the mayor of New York, the citys police commissioner, a former ambassador to France, and the bishop of Rhode Island drill with forty-pound packs under the supervision of General Leonard Wood, Teddys former commander. Wood, like Teddy, was torn between military service and the wide-open Republican presidential nomination in 1916. There is a picture of the two of them at Plattsburg, their tunics straining at every button, seeming older than their years.

On his way out of the camp, Teddy was asked by reporters if he supported the president. He replied that any peace-loving prose stylist living in a house once inhabited by Abraham Lincoln should emigrate to China.

The war in Europe was reaching a stalemate, with horrific casualties on both sides. President Wilson finally called for half a million men to mobilize. Teddy struggled to avoid insulting the President, and finally settled on calling Wilson a logothete, a term from the Byzantine Empire that meant little more than a bureaucrat, or petty accountant in ancient Constantinople.
