Wesley Clark

Graduating from West Point at the head of his class, Wes Clark has achieved success throughout his military career. He served in Vietnam; was a key negotiator of the Dayton Peace Accords; and was head of the U.S. European Command. Clark was an Armor Officer who commanded at every level from company to division. As Supreme Allied Commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, he led the 19-member alliance to victory in Kosovo — NATO's longest and most difficult military campaign.

Robert E Lee

Robert E. Lee was the legendary commander of the Confederate forces in the Civil War. Against overwhelming odds, Lee scored victory after victory against the Union forces led by seven different generals. Famous battles include: 2nd Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg, and — possibly his greatest performance — Chancellorsville. Outnumbered two to one, Lee broke with convention and divided his forces not once but twice — ultimately driving the Federal army under Joseph Hooker from the field.

Dude, he's the guy on the $50 bill

Seriously, a superb operational general who, with General Sherman (another WTFIT guy), advanced the idea of total warfare to the extreme. Grant was the first general for the North that had the balls and the gameplan to beat Bobby Lee and the South...

Edit by MM: same again sorry http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif

Omar Bradley


Personally, Bradley was self-effacing and quiet. He was often overshadowed by the more flamboyant Patton and MacArthur — which suited Bradley just fine. But he was innovative in his conception of war. He admired William Tecumseh Sherman, and thought he was a master of battle movements. In fact, he thought Sherman was more important than the commanders of battle units in World War I.

I have no idea who this guy is Nevermind http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

No probs Fragony I swear all the time in real life, but I'd never do it infront of my parents, small kids etc. . Given the org is open to all especially the Entrance Hall all of the above may well visit and take offence.

Anyway I trust you are researching Ulysses S Grant as we speak http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif

I matched up to a war criminal.

Why anyone would regard W.T. Sherman as a hero is beyond my comprehension. His units slaughtered more livestock and civilians than Confederate soldiers.

He killed non-combatants that were regarded as citizens of his own country.

Sherman is not someone I could ever admire.

Took me six minutes to do the test. I think it's very generalised. Many of the generals shared attributes. I bet you could put the same answers and get different profiles.

My choices:

A. Choice #1: Meet the troops.
B. Choice #1: Create a detailed plan.
C. Choice #1: Go to the front.
D. Choice #1: Negotiate to meet your objectives.

Based on these answers, my profile matches:

Does it mean that we developed similar thinking patterns???

I had Teddy Roosevelt (haven't heard of him either)...

The sort of general that inspires troops, attacks the enemy and lead from the front, sounds like my MTW Style (probably very high morale in his army)

To be able to turn a defenseive position into an attacking stuation is another thing I am good at. And fighting against the odds.

As a Political leader I matched up as Thomas Jefferson. Interesting...

In principale, I can live with that.

Teddy Roosevelt.

Biography:

Teddy Roosevelt was one of the most dramatic figures in American history. He was both an accomplished civilian and military leader. He captured the nation's imagination by leading the Rough Riders in the Spanish American war. As assistant secretary of the Navy under President William McKinley, Roosevelt vigorously worked toward a two-ocean Navy. As President, he was known for advocating environmental conservation, pro-labor policies, and expansionism.

Leadership Attributes:

Teddy Roosevelt was a man of action and preferred to lead from the front. He stunned the country when he resigned his powerful and comfortable position as assistant secretary of the Navy to establish and lead the Rough Riders in the Spanish American War. He achieved lasting fame by leading his regiment in a bold charge up Kettle Hill in the Battle of Santiago. Personally, he was upbeat and dominant. As President, he was a skilled diplomat, negotiating many issues favorable to the U.S., including Alaska's boundary with Canada. He even helped bring an end to the Russo-Japanese war of 1904-1905, for which he received the Nobel Peace Prize.

I got Patton.

How can you peeps not know about Lee and Grant? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

Grant was just about the only competant general the North had in the Civil war. The other commanders were terrible. Lee was a good general and easily prevailed over the inexperienced and stoopid Northern commanders.

However, Lee sent his troops to the slaughter at Gettysburg at whichtime the North accepted his surrender not long afterwards.
