I would consider it an honor to be compared to Genghis for exploits in war. That dude is the #1 by far of all conquerors. He never lost a battle much less a war. Every war college in the world studies his exploits with amazement at how one man from a usually insigificant country could amass the largest empire in history. The early Russians lost many battles and wars to the Mongols and had to live under their thumb and pay tribute via the GoldenHorde. They also learned cavalry tactics from the Mongols. Before WWII Germany learned these Mongol cavalry tactics by visiting Russia and applied them to tanks and men instead of horses (i.e. Blitzkrieg). We used the same tactics going into Iraq.
