So few people have said Alexander the Great.

He literally conquered the entire known world.

That's the equivalent to about half of the whole world. That's pretty badass if you ask me.

+1 to chef boyardee, he's conquering the world right now, and you don't even know it :shock:

Also Mulan (yes she was reali think) same reason of joan of arc


Mulan was real in a legend, but it was based on real life, so that's pretty cool.

Joan of Arc didn't really do anything. She was just like "God said I should do this". And like, what she said really happened and it's totally cool, but she didn't do that much herself. She just sort of provided supreme moral to all the french.

Sun Tzu ..... wrote The Art of War

Probably the most underrated of all time because in statistics alone he did a minute amount, by by military level he was a genius.

Napoleon was pretty bad ass in my opinion. A French speaking midget who rode a white horse.

A lot of people mention Hitler, but they fail to mention the guy who successfully stood up to Hitler after he had conquered all of europe.

Setting:
Hon. US History Class
Discussing possible outcomes for ww2
cause the revolutionary war is BORING [washington pfff GARBAGE]
::::::::::

Ademola: you know i think we should thank the japanese...

John: why, .

Ademola: well if Japan hadnt bombed us, we wouldnt have intervened in ww2

John: but we were intervening the whole time by sending supplies 2 the brits

Ademola: :roll: that doesnt count i mean with war :wink:

John: dude first you talk about how america shouldve been totalitorean after the rev war, now your saying that SOLEY because of pearl harbor every jewish person should give thx 2 japan?

Ademola:... YEP

John: :roll: your crazy you know that??, even if japan hadnt atked us we wouldve bombed the crud [he doesnt curse, hes very christian] outta germany with the A bomb.

Ademola:Germany had a more powerful war machine, and thier tech was way ahead of ours for example [LIST A FEW JETS HERE] [EXPLAIN GERMAN UFO POSSIBLITY]

Random Kid: HAHAHA, john doesnt he make you feel dumb.

Ademola: -_- what r u talking about.. john is just as smart as me... i just study more.

Ademola: oh yeah germany.. blahdi blah anti-grav blah dead scientist blah magnetic caused sickness blah. [shortened]

John: UFOs arnt real besides even if japan didnt bomb us we STILL wouldve eventually just entered the war and nuked germany.

John: afterwards we wouldve invaded Europe and north africa, taking major german outpost and bases [blah blah <we talk 2 much]

John: in the end we wouldve controlled europe, and well FDR would probadly manipulate our gov somehow 2 become #1 under heaven.

Ademola: son of heaven?? -_- your baptist dont say those things

John:w/e

Seth:what r u guys talking about

John:nothing

Seth: I joined the FCLA [future christian leaders association]

Best military leader ever is Alexander the Great, the guy conquered the whole known world ( including Persia, assumed as the strongest nation in that time ) in his own, no freaking advisors or what so ever, and how old was this ' kid ' , like 23 years ?

As for Hitler, i'd say Hitler is a better Propaganda user than a military leader. He was indeed a brilliant military leader, but he was even a better propaganda user, that also contributed a lot to his ''succes '' .

@ Fudge, i think you're a focking racist.

@ moloko: Hitler's generals didn't make the biggest mistake of all: invading Russia during winter, his generals actually warned him not to do it, because else he would loose the war. But Hitler, as obstinate he is, did it and he lost the war.

:) Invading Russia, no matter the time of the year, is the biggest mistake one can do. It's just as simple as that. Russia cannot be conquered by an invasion. You have to be either very stupid either koo-koo

When he was in india, he got the disease. He was doing pretty good, but then his men wanted to leave, and he agreed because it had been raining for days & people kept dying of disease and snakes.
He kept getting worse, and worse... Then he got alittle better. Then he died.

As history has proven several times, in leaving the Russians alone, they will eventually defeat themselves.

Great communication with the people, captivating speeches, in fact he makes bush look like complete shit in that aspect.

go watch Hitler speeches, i actually used to do that before lacrosse games sometimes, they were audio files in my iPod. So much energy, it just really got you pumped.

Pink Floyd even admired him, go watch the wall, 90% about hitlers leadership.



hmm :roll: fudge is not racist, but maybe you have racist thoughts that make you think that way :wink:
