    I don't have your command of history, but I have to say I was surprised at McArthur's name being on the list. I have read two McArthur books (American Caesar & some other one..) and I am thoroughly impressed with him. Whether he fits into the 'ya gotta be a little crazy' idea, I don't know, but if I had a chance to go back in time and have lunch with him - just him and me - I'd sure jump at it.

    Custer? Crazy. Reckless. Ambitious.

    But let me ask you this, since you have a studied opinion:
    Who were the great generals?
