John Paul Jones!



Biography:

Born John Paul, he added the name of Jones when he killed the leader of a mutinous crew in 1772. Jones was apprenticed at the age of 12 to a Scottish merchant sailor, and later worked on a slave ship. After the killing incident, Jones came to the colonies and joined the navy when war broke out with Britain. He performed admirably, seizing valuable supplies from British merchant ships. His most famous battle was in 1779, when Jones engaged the British frigate Serapis off Flamborough Head, Yorkshire. The Serapis was a superior ship, more nimble and with more firepower than Jones' Bonhomme Richard. A ferocious gun battle took place. When the enemy called for surrender, Jones answered with the immortal words, "I have not yet begun to fight!"

Leadership Attributes:

During the American revolution, Jones' mission by its very nature required initiative and working without plan. He sailed in a small group in the Atlantic looking for British merchant ships. A natural adventurer, he preferred to be where the action was. Personally, Jones was outgoing and brave in battle.
 
That is an interesting little exercise, I got Wes Clark. All of the results seem to be either great or greater. To bad that it didn't have any responces that could have resulted in say getting Price William of Orange, or McClellan a couple of baffons who should never been allowed in uniform. Oh, well still interesting.
 
The difficult choice for me was whether to personally inspect the three groups at a half an hour apice, or deligate it. I decided that in an hour and a half too many troups could die, that I would just have to accept the risk that the reports I got would be adequate enough as compared to personally acquired info. It's a hard trade off to make but one that made me Clark over Roosevelt. I can imagine situations where unknowables could make one or the other the best choice.
 
I came out with The Duke of Wellington....other matches included my all time fave...George S. Patton. Now there was a warrior's warrior.
 
I wonder if Rommel is on there? Doesn't seem likely. They should also have Zukov, Guderian, Alexander the Great, Caesar, and a host of others that eclipse some of the choices (Clark?!? GRANT???)

Classy: No, it would have been extremely ironic if you had wound up as Robert E. Lee. 🙂
 
PLay the gulf war game too.

I lost as Americans and had a major victory as the Iraqis.

And I'm going into the military too. I'll stay away from there, I promise.

I can see me and Robert E. Lee fighting side by side in the trenches.......................
































Yeah right, if you believe that one, I got some prime real estate for sale in Antartica you might be interested in. 🙂.
