I’m thinking, the general who leads the re-taking of America from the socialist pukes.

I went with Alexander the Great. He won every where he went.

As for Alexander, he had the advantage of playing a bunch of FCS schools. Lee’s leadership was questionable after Jackson’s fall.

Grant kicked butt and won the war all while drunk out of his skull.

So you mean, like, he wouldn’t be wringing his nosegay and sniffling over free American citizens burning a koran? (lower case intentional)

Patton, that is why he was had to be rubbed out. He knew the true enemy of the USA were International Marxist. He wanted to go into the nest and destroy the hive. He was destroyed instead, an accident don’t ya know. What a great student of war history and loved fighting for freedom.

Alexander. He ended the chariot as a tool of war by simply putting men in a U shape with spears. Horse avoided the spears, ran into the U and the men closed around the chariot. Just one innovation that allowed him to conquer more than any general in history.

Precisely. He’d probably be instructing his soldiers to put a little bacon grease on their bullets.

Without a doubt John Singleton Mosby.

The Gray Ghost of the Civil War and George Patton III’s mentor in his later years.
