From Africa's Selassie to Scandinavia's Eric the Red.
From Ancient times Attila the Hun to Contemporany Age's Le Duan.
From the rarely mentioned Kamehameha to all mighty Napoleon

In your opinion, what was the best military leader mankind ever had? Why?

Anthony McAuliffe because saying "Nuts!" in reply to hitler's demands of surrender is ****ing awesome.

I also like Alexander of Macedon and Hannibal Barca.

Barca ****ed the roman army right in their backyard so hard. dat double envelopment.

Alexander the Great never lost a battle, conquered half of the world and won battles even when his own forces were vastly outnumbered by enemies thanks to his military genius.

Even at 16, he was left in charge of Macedonia whilst his father went to invade Thrace, Alexander formed an army and defeted rebelling tribes who tried to invade Macedonia.

Alexander conquered the world with peace in mind, and even got the people he conquered easily under control. Beautiful work.

However, if we look at only military statistics, Ghengis Khan by far achieved the most. He was the founder of the largest contiguous empire known in history.​
