[Dr. Croccer]

[Fleischer]

A quite enjoyable test. Apparently I matched George Washington the best. Other leaders I am proud to be "similiar" to; Napoleon Bonaparte, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Nelson and Dwight D. Eisenhower.

[Hookah Smoking Caterpiller]

None, except the ones who sat around behind computers trying to live out there fantasies.

[Maron]

Patton. I am proud of that

John Paul Jones!
Biography:

Born John Paul, he added the name of Jones when he killed the leader of a mutinous crew in 1772. Jones was apprenticed at the age of 12 to a Scottish merchant sailor, and later worked on a slave ship. After the killing incident, Jones came to the colonies and joined the navy when war broke out with Britain. He performed admirably, seizing valuable supplies from British merchant ships. His most famous battle was in 1779, when Jones engaged the British frigate Serapis off Flamborough Head, Yorkshire. The Serapis was a superior ship, more nimble and with more firepower than Jones' Bonhomme Richard. A ferocious gun battle took place. When the enemy called for surrender, Jones answered with the immortal words, "I have not yet begun to fight!"
Leadership Attributes:

During the American revolution, Jones' mission by its very nature required initiative and working without plan. He sailed in a small group in the Atlantic looking for British merchant ships. A natural adventurer, he preferred to be where the action was. Personally, Jones was outgoing and brave in battle.

Horatio Nelson.

[RVFVS]

[hellheaven1987]

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 Teddy when I purposely chose most fanatic option...

Perhaps Teddy would be a great Taliban leader...

[Jingles]

I got Robert E Lee, which I'm quite pleased about.

Though I'm disappointed Georgy Zhukov didn't make it into the test.

Biography:

William Tecumseh Sherman was one of the most controversial and successful Union generals during the Civil War. He performed well at Shiloh, Vicksburg, and the siege of Chattanooga. He captured Atlanta in one of the Civil War's most decisive campaigns. He advocated the concept of "total war" — waging war not just on the enemy's forces but on the enemy's support network. In this, he was the first modern general. He demonstrated this in his famous "March to the Sea," where his troops cut a swath of destruction through Georgia.
Leadership Attributes:

Sherman was tenacious in battle, and served with Ulysses S Grant in his campaigns — including the siege of Vicksburg, where his tenacity payed off. Sherman led by initiative as much as by planning. During his "March to the Sea," he was cut off from supply lines and his troops lived off the land. Sherman was a soldier, not a diplomat. In fact, after the war, when his name was bandied about for a nomination, he said, "If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve."














I can't say I'm disappointed.

[Georgy Zhukov]

[CiviC]

Patton, but the test is too American oriented, as most great military leaders, with obvious exceptions like Napoleon or Wellington, were Americans.

[Argeus the Paladin]

In any case I match Theodore Roosevelt. Makes sense too.

[Slavic Sniper]

Sun Tzu

[cegorach]

Robert E. Lee

And I am quite happy with the result.

[Odovacar]

Omar Bradley!
