RE: Most Overrated generals in history
Paul;
You will notice I did have something nice to say about all 5 of the gentlemen on my list (even old Doug). I guess my reservations about Wellington are more along the lines of, he wasn't as great/good as Napoleon. I know of, and acknowledge, that he did great things in Spain, I just don't think it stacks up to what Boney did across a continent for almost 15 years. So I say over rated because so many think him great BECAUSE he won at Waterloo, when there is so much more to Boney than Waterloo.
Kind of 180 degrees out from you perspective on this one ;)
