Winfield Scott - Landed at Vera Cruz out numbered, never lost a battle marched inland & took Mexico! Even Wellington said he was the greatest general of his time.

Never lost a battle even when outnumbered. Took Mexico. Gave it back because Mexico sucks.

The Mexican elite wanted him to annex Mexico to the US, when Scott said no (Actually Polk wisely said no!) this elite then asked Scott to be the new dictator. Of course Scott said no to that also!
