Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" is said to have inspired Napoleon.

Sun Tzu's tactics can even be applied to things outside of war. No one can claim that. "

one word, RUSSIA. Proven Wrong! "

Russia does not end everything. Look at the Mongols, they were the only that ever successfully conquered parts of Russia. Napoleon was a good military tactician but he was not the greatest one. There was not just one great military figure. They were all great and thats the reason we still remember their names and learn their battle tactics. 

Napolean greatly underestimated Russia and their best General: Winter.

Also, how is Sun Tzu not on the list? He wrote the Art of War...

Oh, and where the hell is Julius Caesar? You know, Almost-Emperor of Rome, conquered Gaul, killed Pompey?

He was damn smart. I would choose this guy if he was on the list. "

I dont think you can really rank the best military figure.  Each person on this list were in their own era, each fighting wars with vastly different technologies, tactics, and geography.

All of that list had some kind of syphillis i think

teh dark vader

General Mike Patton

Juilius Caesar should be on this list.

" @giyanks22: Do you seriously think Robert E. Lee should be in the same category as Leonidas, Alexander the Great, and Napoleon Bonaparte? "

I don't agree with any of these, therefore not voting

No Hitler?

I hate the man.

But he did manage to cripple most of Europe under Nazi Germany. New tactics, new technology, and the manipulation of most of the German population.

Then again, he tried the 'invade Russia' thing... Even after Napoleon proved it was foolish.

Andy is.

Wayne Gretzky???

" Wayne Gretzky??? "

Yep. That list includes every military figure in history.

I bet Wayne Gretzky couldn't even shoot a gun. Let alone handle a sword. "

That may be true but a frozen puck  beats both. :) "

Where the hell is Winston Churchill?

General O'Neill... oh wait, we are talking actual people. :P

I honestly don't know who would be the best, I wasn't there when it happened, sure there are history books, but how accurate are they, and how exactly do you define a great military figure?

I seriously think that too many people saw 300 and are voting for Leonidas. How the hell does he have 15% of the vote?I see crowning one person as "greatest military figure" as dumb and impractical when all of these men waged war in different time periods, against different enemies, with different armies. All of these men excelled at what they did and I leave it at that. "

My bad, I meant to say Caesar, not Leonidas. Caesar, Alexander the Great, and Napoleon Bonaparte conquered a great deal of the world while Robert E. Lee was a American general who fought in the Mexican American war and then fought against his own country during the civil war and lost.  "

How can you not think the man who conquered the entire known world before he turned 30 is not the greatest of all time?

Why isn't Tony Yayo's name on the list?
