Vo Nguyen Giap in Viet-Nam defeated the greatest technological army of the 20th century with barefoot soldiers.

Hard for me to agree with this one. General Giap won a war of attrition where the N.Vietnamese to American KIA ratio was something like 20-1. The N. Vietnamese leaders and generals placed no value on the human lives fighting on their side. I don't think that qualifies any of them for the top 10.

You are right. I take back my previous post.
