In no particular order (and these were Generals who were good at being Generals on the Battlefield, not battalion commanders who excelled and later become Generals, like Hal Moore)\n\nAlexander the Great - conquered the known world by the time he was 26\n\nErwin Rommel - the Desert Fox. Would have won in WW2 North African if he's been given the supplies\n\nArthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington - victor in India, Portugal, Spain, and at Waterloo. \nBernard Law Montgomery - inpsired his troops, designed and delivered victory in the Battle of Normandy\n\nG.B.P 'Pip' Roberts (The Black Bull, WW2) - youngest Major General in the British Army, led 11th Armoured from Normandy into Germany. Best tank leader and often overlooked. \n\nGeorge S. Patton - made Stormin Norman look like he was playing with toys. Put fear into the Nazis\n\nRobert E. Lee - led Johnny Reb, inspired his troops, nearly beat the Feds\n\nHanibal Barca - amazing adventures\nVo Nguyen Giap- took on the French and won, then the US, and Won\nGeory Zhukov - Red Army leader that did more than anyone to defeat the Wehmacht

Charles Rangel of New York.\n\n"Rangel, a veteran of the Korean War who has unsuccessfully sponsored legislation on conscription in the past, has said the all-volunteer military disproportionately puts the burden of war on minorities and lower-income families."\n\nThe Heritage Foundation has proven this to be false. Military members come from all social and economic backgrounds:\n\n"The poor are enlisting at demonstrably lower rates since 9/11. Specifically, the percentage of recruits from the poorest one-fifth of American neighborhoods declined from 18% in 1999 to 13.7% in 2005. The reverse is true for recruits from the wealthiest one-fifth of neighborhoods. They are now overrepresented, accounting for 22.8% of all recruits. "\n\nSee also "Who Bears the Burden? Demographic Characteristics of U.S. Military Recruits Before and After 9/11" by Tim Kane, Ph.D.\n\n\nwww.heritage.org

Looking for the same thing. I thought maybe someone from Korea who works at Kia might be on here, but no luck yet. Wonder if learning Korean can help get job in West Point?
