General Tommy Franks defeated 2 of our declared enemies in the course of 18 months with a death rate, during those 18 months, of less than 1 hundreth of 1%.
A record to be applauded.

Stonewall Jackson on the Division and Corp level. Attaturk and Hannibal on the Army level. Napoleon too.

I'm a south'rener, and I'll agree with US Grant.
Add a few more - Patton, Montgomery, Napoleon, Hannibal, McArthur, Schwartzkopf, Nimitz, Rommel, Zhukov
