Which general or the militant who you would admire the most in history ?  

Alexander the Great. I'm still amazed on his strategy in defeating so many Persians, he is a fine horseman, brilliant strategist and genius ruler. No one else in the ancient world conquered as much as he does.

Although I like Alexander, (I should since it's my name), I admire Hannibal the most. I've admired him since grade school; him and his elephants crossing the Alps. And later when I worked at the library and learned more about him such as the tribes he had to fight as he crossed the Alps, then my admiration went up. Surrounded by a huge Roman army, he waited until one general took over the Roman army, then escaped with trickery. I like Hannibal so much that I am nearly a scholar with books by Polybius and Livy on my shelf. I especially liked his strategy in massacring the huge Roman army at Cannae.

I would have to go with Genghis Khan. Among all the conquerors he was the one who started the largest contiguous empire in the world.
