Yamamoto
Ho Chi Minh
Osama bin Laden

>Napoleon mostly defeated others, not the Brits, on the battlefield.

And in some circles as an opponent he ranked below Princess Caroline of Brunswick.

Napoleon has died on St Helena, official brings the news to the King: "Sire, your greatest enemy is dead"

George IV: "Is she, by G-d!"

My 5 greatest American military foes:

Lee
Jackson
Ho Chi Minh
Yamamoto
Cornwallis

For me, Lee wins the greatest foe contest hands down. Thankfully, we have never had to face a soldier like Lee since. Ho Chi Minh is up there as well. I also like your choice of Tecumseh and Sitting Bull as foes.
