You got it. Grant used his personal perspective of life and ordeals towards his military objectives. He was the constant consistent, contemplative leader.. Either in military, business, or military objectives. He always weighed the pro's and con's, advantages and negatives, before he acted, but, he didn't hesitate. Your four points sum him up greatly. He was probably the first "modern" military commander, and although he seemed callous, he knew the sum of all the parts in
military battles better than anyone.
Go to Washington D.C. and stand in front of the Capital Building, and you will see Grant on his horse, the monument, standing guard, protecting the building, with only one inscription "Grant". It tells it all.
