Based on achievement, they are the two top dogs in my opinion. Greatest warrior? If you mean person, I’d say Miyamoto Musashi. If you mean culture, I’d say ancient Sparta.<br /><br /><B>2. Should Ike have rearmed the Germans after World War 2 and under Patton unleashed the Allied Army on the Russians?</B>No. Despite Patton’s foresight of a cold war between the East and the West, Eisenhower made the right choice. The USSR in May of 1945 had the most powerful military in the world. Plus, they had relatively shorter supply lines than the US. And while a joint US / UK / German attack against the USSR would have significantly hurt them, the ensuing violence would have destroyed the rest of Europe with a significant chance of failure on the part of the West. The best the West could have hoped for would have been a return to pre-conflict boarders.<br /><br /><B>3. Other matchups: Delta Force versus Navy Seal Team 6; British Royal Commandos versus U.S. Marines; Gurkhas versus the Isreali Special Forces; a Mameluke versus an Aztec warrior. Your picks?</B>Wow, interesting match-ups! My choices would be Navy Seal Team 6; World War 2 British Commando; Israeli Special Forces; an Aztec warrior.<br /><br /><B>4. F-15 verus Su-27?</B>Both aircraft are evenly matched against each other. As a result, I would say that the deciding factor would be the quality of pilot, as well as who could fire first. As a result, I would say that the F-15 has a better chance of winning.<br /><br /><B>5. Technology aside, is the Abrams series of main battle tanks the best in history, or does that title go to the T-34?</B>For modern tanks, I would actually say that the Leopard 2A6 is superior to the M-1A2. But, as far as the best main battle tank ever, from any era, I would say that honor should go to T-34/85.<br /><br />-Bill the LizardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-30941131812552304692009-04-26T12:07:00.000-05:002009-04-26T12:07:00.000-05:00I always get troy and alexander (the two movies) c...I always get troy and alexander (the two movies) confused.<br /><br />I meant Colin Farrell.<br /><br />Klingons and Samurai!
