Care to offer evidence? How does Patraeus make a list devoid of Patton and Zukhov - or even Templer?Originally Posted by j earl

- The job of the British Army out here is to kill or capture Communist Terrorists in Malaya.
- If we can double the ratio of kills per contact, we will soon put an end to the shooting in Malaya.

Three Americans (USA: less than a quarter century in existence) in an all-time global top five list? This sounds biased.
In fact I doubt four on your list very much; only G.J. Caesar is a top 20 candidate.
Did you mean to say less than a quarter millenium?

Yes, of course. #### happens...
Oh, I would put Marius as a contender for the top 20.

I'm very glad that none of my family visits this site. They already think that I was brainwashed from being out in California too longY'allcan't tell a Southroner nuthin bad bout Marse Robert!
cheers
JohnT. Maybe I shouldn't have told them that I disavowed the Republican party, the Southern Baptist Convention, and I no longer like watching cars go around in circles
. If they find out what I just said about Robert, an intervention will definitely be happening soon.
