speaking of U.S. Generals, just curious, but if you had to choose a list of the top five, who would you place on it?
WW2 had some outstanding Generals as well as several from the Civil War era, and let;s not forget Washington, who overcame incredulous odds, and scarce supplies, and almost 90 percent untrained men to fight against the greatest European militry power. Yet, he held on and succeeded.
Did you include Thomas "stonewall" Jackson on your list ? Were it not for him and his planning the unconventional, Lee would not have succeeded. If his own men did not shoot him and eventually he died from those wounds and complications from them (pneumonia), I believe the South would have won that war.
Ever read about Phil Sheridan? He was good.
Anyway, just got me to thinking about great Generals as well.
Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, MacArthur. That's quite a group from WW2.
