Which Historical Commander are you?

[Red October1984]

Quiz from The Military Channel (http://military.discovery.com/what-commander-are-you-quiz.htm)

I'm Douglas MacArthur

You're obdurate and have a perpetual look of "Why do I have to put up with this *********, I obviously have the answer and you don't." Being an unhesitating decision-maker has its virtues but don't let it completely blind you to differing opinions. And please, ease up on the corncob pipe.

[Tchocky]

Napoleon, just as I suspected.

VIVE LA FRANCE

[Oberon]

Vlad Tepes

Presumably because I like Black Pudding.... :doh:

[Stealhead]

I am Omar Bradely based on Oberons test.

[eddie]

Took Oberons test and they say I'm Beetle Bailey.:D

Actually had me as William T Sherman

[Sailor Steve]

The first one made me Napoleon.

The second compared me to Wesley Clark.

[Red October1984]

2nd test tells me I'm John Paul Jones.

:yeah:

[TorpX]

The first test has me as Douglas McArthur, the second says George Patton.

The second test is kind of skimpy; only 4 questions to answer. That's quite an extrapolation.

Of course, I don't dislike the result. :)

[BossMark]

The first one I am Douglas MacArthur

The second one I am Napoleon Bonaparte

[Cybermat47]

You're obdurate and have a perpetual look of "Why do I have to put up with this horsesh!t, I obviously have the answer and you don't." Being an unhesitating decision-maker has its virtues but don't let it completely blind you to differing opinions. And please, ease up on the corncob pipe.Second one, Robert E. Lee
Biography:

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.

Leadership Attributes:

Personally, General Lee was reserved and seemed enigmatic to his men. But on the battlefield he was daring and audacious, as at Chancellorsville, where he divided his troops in the face of greater opposing forces. His diplomatic skills were as well-honed as his generalship. For example, in his early role as presidential adviser to Jefferson Davis, he tried to ease the difficult personalities of Confederacy President Jefferson Davis and General Joseph E. Johnston.

[Moonlight]

I got Napoleon Bonaparte on both tests.:D

[Betonov]

Vlad Tepes.

I think it knows I'm from the Balkans :doh:


And the second one is Patton.
Yeah, I wish that be true :)

You have a perpetual look of "Why do I have to put up with this horsesh!t

That's for sure.:smug:

[RickC Sniper]

MacArthur on the first one.

George Washington on the second one.

[Aktungbby]

Who else: Genghis Khan: Speed, firepower and a divine mandate(always best) to rule the world...as evidenced by the (his) DNA of many people today. We owe him one as he put an end to the Islamic threat from his end and he was a fairly liberal ruler ...as long as you paid your tribute. Besides silk warshirts, two compound bows and a string of ponies per MONGOL he was adaptive of captured technology including biological warfare-catapulting infected bodies into besieged cities. Terror, paper money and the pony express were instruments of his rule. We still speak of limitless enemies as a Horde-WHAT A LEGACY:up: Throw in Benteen's observation that "life in a cavalry (The 7th) regiment is like a ship at sea", Ol' Ghengis would have had few concept difficulties on a U-boat. Patton studied his tactics for operation Cobra.:salute:

[soopaman2]

Heinz Guderian.

The father of the tank.

Strong in defense and offense. Always wanting to better my corp, and to progress.

[Armistead]

Stonewall Jackson here....:yeah:

[Oberon]

Random pointless trivia:
Napoleon was actually about average height for the time, about five foot seven, some of the causes for this ongoing myth have been laid at the feet of the confusion between the French and British measurement systems of the time, his elite guard required to be six foot or taller, thus making him small by comparison, and a mistranslation of his nickname 'le petit caporal' which was given to him because of his camaraderie with his fellow soldiers.

[Karle94]

that and the propaganda value invented by the British.

[Oberon]

that and the propaganda value invented by the British.

Indeed so. :yep:
