Totally Non-Scientific Poll: America's Greatest Military Foe

My first ever totally non-scientific blog poll. I'm so proud. You may need to go back in blog time, that is, read the archives, to fully inform yourself on what we're voting on. If you want to be informed and not just shoot from the hip, you'll have to do real research. If you want the lazy way out, start here and then click through to read my not scholarly researched, but better than nothing, write ups about Lee, Howe, Yamomoto, Giap and Sitting Bull. Then, go below the jump to the poll.

America's Greatest Military Foe 5: Sitting Bull?

After the first four, I really wasn't sure who else deserved a mention as I rambled through the possibilities. But, there's at least one more name that I think won't be controversial. After these five, I really can't think of any other general or commander you could really suggest who would have a better claim to the title than these guys. Namely because Sitting Bull's command lasted a significant time period, defeated General Custer and ultimately demanded a level of loyalty from his followers that any general would envy.
