I don't really know who most people admire. The only thing I have to go on, really, is bad press and watching who gets hair-assed and picked on. Guess that opinion is rather skewed though, seeing as usually it's the same people who are vocal about who they dislike in the forums. Meh.
Skew it. Nobody caes anyway.

I read something once that said that while others measured their conquests in miles, Ghenghis Khan measured his in degrees of longitude.
It would make sense considering the amount of land he conquered.

Yes indeed. I thought you might appreciate it.


Pancho Villa and Patton?

They both fought against each other when Pershing led an expedition into Mexico looking for Villa. Patton because of my time in the Army and he was a General that I would have considered an honor to serve under. Pancho Villa for the fact that he was kind of like a Robin Hood figure. My wife is Mexican so I know a little bit about the History of that country. If I was living at the time I probably would have joined his Army. Quite a few Americans did in the beginning.
