You clearly did not read my OP.
Also...Lee was never a general in the U.S. Army. He resigned his commission as a Colonel.

I wasn't aware Stonewall Jackson was a battlefield commander in the 20th century.

Pretty sure a lot of guys could have done that.
Hackworth was a reporter at the time, and his speculation on what would happen had Schwartzkopf's people saying he was getting inside information.
Hackworth said, Hey, I went to the same schools he did.

Maybe so. But he was the one who did it and thus gets the credit.

The Iraqis were surprised and that's all that matters.

Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but only two guys on your original list are carved into Stone Mountain.

Lightning Joe Collins did everything Patton did with fewer resources and fewer casualties.

What exactly do you think this board is for?

Probably because Collins commanded a corps while Patton commanded an army. That's 57,000 men vs. 250,000 men. Collins commanded the VII Corps in Courtney Hodge's U.S. First Army.
