I was worried for a moment no one else read Stirling and Drakes "The General" series... 20 years ago... I just looked it up - I never read the last 2 of the sequel books: Heretic and Savior also haven't read the last 2 in the RCN series I thought he kind of mailed it in for Sea Without a Shore and Road of Danger and I stopped looking for the next books |

General Barnicke View Quote Edit to add, missed being first on that one by a LONG shot! We did do the drill team routine in JROTC though. Admiral Dame Honor Harrington is the best Admiral ever. Love that series. Nobody mentioned Lon Nolan of the Dirigent Mercenary Corps? He was elected general twice, only man to do it. I think he might have given John Christian a run for his money. Alois Hammer was never a general, Colonel only, though many colonels never fielded the firepower like that of The Regiment. |

If we're counting Admirals, then Admiral Honor Harrington gets my vote.

Unless I'm mistaken, he didn't know he was sacrificing anything for real. It was all a simulation to him. But, he did find a way to defeat an entire alien race with decades old equipment. View Quote I got a Webelo who could handle that level of over match. Hell, Bean was the better general anyway. He can't even compete in his own fucking fictional book! |

Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Lord Solar Macharius (Alexander the Great, in a 40k Imperial Army (the bullet catchers) uniform) "The meaning of victory is not to defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavors, to crush utterly his every achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory." Lord Castellan Usarkar E. Creed, Governor Primus: Cadia (again a regular guy in a universe filled with demons, gods, genetic supermen, who somehow still wins and wins, until the plot dictates he loses). "Cadia Stands" |
