" If you don't really understand history I can see your error in saying washington . . ."

Well, gee. . . I guess I do not understand history. Why don't you explain to me why Washington is not one of the great ones. Certainly many professional military historians -- who obviously also do not understand history -- rank him up there. He was number one in the book "The Military 100."

So take some time to give us the benefit of your wisdom and insight. I am ready to be educated. Again please compare and contrast Napoleon and Washington. Especially the difference in the strategic results of their campaigns. I await, oh great one.

Well, How about Washington losing nearly every single battle against a military with supply routes based thousands of miles away. His best strength was (oddly enough) the french and his endurance.
