10 Great Military Leaders

Whatever you need to tell yourself, champ. You're an addict. You just can't quit me.

I will admit that I find your posting style mildly entertaining, but you're far from all that powerful. Quan and redpill rule these forums now, and you're just a shell of what you once were.

Nonsense and poppycock. Like the others, you zealously crave my attention. That's why, though beaten and prideful, you ultimately slithered back into this thread and sought me out. You fear and love me, covet and despise me. Yours is an Oedipal affliction.

Okay. How does this address any of the points I've made to you over the last two pages?

Well, you posted that the usefulness of Jedi is 'overstated,' citing Geonosis.

In response, I pointed out how Geonosis was atypical and possibly the worst tactical thing they could do (because those Jedi in specific had never fought a war), and it doesn't say much on their usefulness to war efforts in general that they can take casualties if they walk into a worst case scenario.

No. No they weren't. The fact that Luke, Jacen, and etc were there to chop of the snake's head was an advantage. Random Jedi never would have been because there are simply too few of them.

I'll note that until his last stand, Ganner Rhysode was a 'random Jedi,' not even a master, and not an experienced knight at the start of the war (though he had a fair amount of experience by the time he went down).

Finn Galfridian (a padawan!) helped uncover the Vong infiltrators on Coruscant.

And of course, there's squadrons of Jedi Fighters, and a squadron of even lesser Jedi makes for a very elite force. Shadow bombs did a fair amount of damage to Vong ships.

To go to the Clone Wars, the Jedi struck at shipyards like Gwori, a pretty strategically useful thing, and a bunch of Jedi broke the siege of the CIS's attempt to get a clone army going.

Sure, strong Jedi are best for contributing during a war... and of course, there *are* strong Jedi... but other force users are still useful.

Saying that Grievous did what Malak wished he could do is erroneous because their situations aren't even comparable. More so, the fact that you think a planet that was able to be resettled in a little over 20 years is comparable to a planet that was never able to be settled again is retarded. And Humbarine obvious didn't literally turn to molten slag. Why would you ever believe it was?

How do you figure? Malak and his fleet had presence at Corellia and several other core worlds and yet never could mount a proper invasion. Its not retarded Humbarine was an active CORE WORLD, of course way more resources could be devoted to rebuilding it than a backwater like Taris that was on the decline and becoming less and less relevant anyway. Shit, even Telos had a massive orbital station that made large sectors of it habitable a couple of years after. Taris wasn't rebuilt because no one gave a shit about Taris, I don't even think it was a Republic member world.

And ICS explicitly states that Grievous conducted an "hour long bombardment that turned it into a molten slag".

Old book, and IIRC just the author's opinon.

1. Admiral Gial Ackbar
2. Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin
3. Grand Admiral Thrawn
4. Xim the Despot
5. Admiral Firmus Nantz
6. Mandalore the Indomitable
7. Revan
8. Pers Pradeux
9. Gar Stazi
10. Gilad Pellaeon

Right off the back IDK how Tarkin is above Thrawn.

And Revan's pretty damn low.

Revan beaten teh next mandalore + Cassuus fett, compared to that The previous mandalore would get his beaten by Revan armed with a toothpick. And is as much inspiring.
What Admiral thrawn as to say about the deathstar...
Admliral ackbard first for saying : IT'S A TRAP !!!!!! ha fan service...
