These are my top ten military commanders in history. I didnt put them in any particular order because I couldnt really decide how the list would go.

I know some will be suprised not t find people like Hannibal, Grant, Alexander, Genghis khan, etc... I dont believe they belong in the top ten

  • Great, so Napoleon makes the cut by the chap who defeated him doesn't? Ridiculous.

  • @cheltladydowne

    Yea how so? What made Wellington, Blucher, and Kutuzov better than Napoleon? Their campaigns and tactics never really matched those of Napoleon in terms of strategic genius or greatness.

  • @UncannyRicardo They're better because they beat him!

  • @cheltladydowne

    Hardly a genius feat when you look at the actual campaigns and battles. As much as Waterloo or the Russian invasion are talked about, they are really "boring" military achievements in terms of good tactics. There were no real badass moves made by the either Napoleon or the generals that beat him.

    Waterloo for example was more a less a brawl until one force broke, which just happend to be the French. Wellington did good but he didn't make any real unique awesome decisions.

  • Hail Caesar!

  • @aSecondCaesar

    amen brother
