Maybe OT--Greatest Leader Ever

Post by usersatch »

Nothing to do at work, so...

Who is the greatest miltary leader of all time?

My vote goes to Ghengis Kahn. In terms of tactics, number of victories and land area conquered, treatment of non-combatants, and morale of his troops he was the best.

Col. Sam Trautman (Rambo's commander) would be a close second place [:D]

Sgt Rock of Easy Company...he never lost.
Or perhaps Sgt Saunders of King Company...he not only never lost, he was one of the great human moralists of all time - he knew what was wrong with everyone - and straitened out more damaged psyches than Dr Freud.

That would be brilliant too - he operated a complete Hollywood resort under the German's noses and they never knew. And he kept it up for several years!

Of course, he couldn't have done it without his opposite German number, quite possible one of the worst military leaders ever:

I know it's kind of a small pic, but who is this great leader? I'll give you a hint, he fought for the Germans.[:D]

Even though the beads made Paris Jefferson look a little girly- she still had some good tactics. Like the tunnels.

I always have a backup

WWI veteran
won lots of medals
helped a small political party
helped rebuild an A/F
didn't lose a battle he couldn't blame on someone else

Not a military leader, but a leader on the grid iron (or the office)!
