Best American General of All Time?

If I visited the UK, would I have to buy a tv license to watch shows in my hotel room?

No. The hotel would pay the license fee.
So long as you passed the multiple choice competency exam and handed your essay in on time you would get your license and have full control of the remote.

What is the essay topic? How long does it have to be?

''Why I should be granted the privilege of watching the BBC''
in 5000 words.

For extra merits you can add a supplementary paper on ''Why Tommy Robinson (not his real name) should be banned from all social media platforms'' or ''Why Brexit is the biggest mistake Britain has made since Harold sent unrested troops against William the Bastard in 1066''

Tommy Robinson actually has done quite a bit for race relations. In America, he was one of the first African Americans major league baseball players.

General Tso is the greatest general.

If he was a real general. (There are theories he wasn't, and that was a bunch of generals giving their wisdom under a pen name.)

For me, Patton.

Patton was great, but he wasn't particularly innovative and his campaigns were not actually war winning.

His secret sauce was Fustest wit the Mustest. Relentless pace and aggression while other generals were timid.

He didn't alter the course of the war tho.

He would have if they gave him free reign.

He generated a lot of casualties, the government was trying to keep the casualties down and rely on bombing.

Once you hand the reins to Patton, it's gonna get very bloody very fast.

The hope was that the Soviets would do the bleeding while America hung back some.

Without letting the Soviets overrun Europe completely.

So Patton was usefull for very specific operations, like the Bulge which was an emergency rescue mission.

But at the strategic level, the public was not happy about land war and the casualties it generated.

If General Tso was not real, then who invented the delicious Chinese menu item he is famous for??

Checkmate.

He was a master strategist though, he did things people said was impossible. Also, he lost men a lot of the times because he wasn't given the things he needed to keep his troops protected. He was pissed off about that, plus the bureaucracy of war when it was run by people who didn't know the front lines.
