Greatest Military Commander of All Time

[Zenrax]

thats a hard one I went with alexander the great though .
I honestly have no clue why forest,rommel,patton or nelson are even up there. Sure they were good but certianly not deserving of greatest.Sun Tzu would be a much better choice than any of them

Tzu was a philosopher who happened to write a treatise about war, much like von Clausewitz. He never commanded any armies. Anyways, Forrest was the first to use a blitzkrieg-like strategy, getting his soldiers there faster than anyone thought possible, following his policy of "getting there first with the most men". Rommel was arguably the greatest tank commander ever, defeating much larger British and American forces even while having consistently low supplies and little air support. Patton was basically his American opposite, a master at using armor and infantry to clear massive swathes of territory quickly. As for Nelson, well, he won the battle that prevented Napoleon from attacking England, suffering a fatal wound in the process, and still commanding his fleet after being hit. I think that makes him eligible.
