&lt;p&gt;Haha, its easier for me to believe that people can come back
from the dead, cos I actually see reports of that happening now and
then.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But for a person to drown in waist deep water, well its
rare.&amp;nbsp; For a whole mass of people to do that?&amp;nbsp; Well, care
to show me any articles or news reports?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Miracles DO do happen sometimes.&amp;nbsp; And they are known
because it got documented.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I never said that they were drown in the swamp...I said that
historian believe that there is a battle between the jews and the
egyptians in the reed sea, which was reintepret in the bible as
'the parting of the red sea'&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If it is a religious war...I would say those invovled would love
to add some juice to the story....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another possible explaination was there was a tsunami going on
when the egyptians chased the jews.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As we all know the sea retreat shortly before a tsunami take
place, so it is another explaination put forth by the scientist and
historians.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Why compare Generals with no actual combat experience?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Personally I like Erwin Rommel for his endeavours in North
Africa. He was also the one who strengthened the Atlantic Wall. The
Normandy breakout was due to bad communications between
outposts.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Now, back to documented history.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Admiral Yi sun-sin, a admrial that won one of the most loopsided
victory in history, got demoted all the way to private and rise
back up in ranks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;13 Korean ships against 133 japanese ships, total victory on the
korean side, with only 2 dead ,3 injured and no ships lost.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Japanese losses? 31 ships lost, 92 disabled, and about 8000 to
18000 dead...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
the one that invented their armoured turtle ship right?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Moses didn't part the Red Sea.&amp;nbsp; Most believed that "God"
did.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I find it hard to believe that an army's commander, would lead
his troops into a waist&amp;nbsp;deep or ankle deep water and command
his troops to drown themselves.&amp;nbsp; Tell ya what, why don't you
go Egypt and ask the people there? They seem to believe it and feel
pretty sore about it still.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Medical miracles of people confirmed to be DEAD coming back to
life happens more often than you think.&lt;/p&gt;

Miracles DO happens sometimes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Honestly, it would have been more logical for you to dispute
that the entire Red Sea Crossing never took place.&amp;nbsp; Its easier
to believe that than to believe an army drowned in a swamp.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Best generals are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Sun Tzu (he wrote a timeless war manual surviving countless
generations and still used today by generals and business boardroom
'generals'). Published and republished in innumerable languages of
the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Clausewitz (similar to Sun Tzu, he wrote a war manual).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Machiavelli (his name become a word 'machiavellian' spanning
politics, business, and military), a testament to his enduring
influence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ok thats all.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I never said that the entire army was drowned in the swamp, I said
that historians has said that the 'flood' isn't a real flood but a
battle...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And please, just because the bible said that there is a flood
does not mean that there is a flood &lt;strong&gt;literally&lt;/strong&gt;
...and moreover, bear in mind that alot of people isn't
christian...so we would not believe in the bible's account. And
kindly respect us for having a different belief and religion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While it is highly possible that moses could be a good general
in history, you need to back up your information in regards to the
event. Information that can be verified by facts and historians,
not people who do research on the bible...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even if the egyptian army was killed by a flood, that is due to
luck, praying and etc instead of using tactics. So you cannot say
that Moses is the greatest general from that reasoning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Which is why I think we should not mention about religious
leaders in this thread if possible, unless we can find information
from other source.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As far as I understand it was the red sea...the Eqyptian
soldiers didnt die fighting they died drowning. I mean could anyone
die drowning in a swamp or a small river. I mean the entire army
not just a formation of chariots.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When men achieve the impossible his deed become legend and myth
to be dispelled by sceptics long after his time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Besides I don't think the original text was written in English
nor was translated to English to be mistranslated from Reed to
Red.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Sorry, late post, but better late than never.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My vote goes to Ariel Sharon (as a soldier, but I don't agree
with him on his politics):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From early days as commander of Unit 101 (later to become
paratroopers and their first Special Forces), as armoured
divisional commander during 1956's Six Day War in seizing the Sinai
(becoming Southern Front commander at end of the war), and
returning to recapture the Sinai (and cross the Suez to be witihin
100km of Cairo) after a near catastrophic loss in Yom Kippur War of
1973. *&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;* - I've heard that this battle, to attack in between the
Egyptian 2nd and 3rd Armies and isolating the latter is now a
compulsory topic on tank warfare in military academies around the
world.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hmm.... I'd go with Eisenhower.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Though I think it was a mistake for him to go along with
Operation Market Garden.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Think you should leave religion out of it, as some of us isn't
christians and do not accept it as a fact.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although the 'better' commander will be god instead of
Moses...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And from what I understand, it isn't the red sea, but the
&lt;strong&gt;reed&lt;/strong&gt; sea. (It's a mistranlation from the original
text) The reed sea is basically swamp or a small river.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historian have said that the parting of the reed could be a
mythical representation of the battle, where Moses might have led
the his army into victory, and tore 'apart' the egyptian army due
to the swampy area being unsuitable for the chariots.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As far as I understand it was the red sea...the Eqyptian
soldiers didnt die fighting they died drowning. I mean could anyone
die drowning in a swamp or a small river. I mean the entire army
not just a formation of chariots.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When men achieve the impossible his deed become legend and myth
to be dispelled by sceptics long after his time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Besides I don't think the original text was written in English
nor was translated to English to be mistranslated from Reed to
Red.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And the the people of Israel is just a myth of course.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;13 Korean ships against 133 japanese ships, total victory on the
korean side, with only 2 dead ,3 injured and no ships lost.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Japanese losses? 31 ships lost, 92 disabled, and about 8000 to
18000 dead...&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Caesar's expedition to Britain didn't amount to much. Rome
didn't actually conquer Britain until the reign of Claudius.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Had Caesar not been murdered by his political rivals in the
Roman Senate. I have little doubt that he would have defeated the
Parthians and returned to finish the conquest of Britain.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;nbsp;think Julius Caeser bah..he expanded the Roman Emipre's
boundaries by alot during that time..He was a brillant general and
manage to convince Pompey's legions to his side and then persuade
the People of Rome to his side..so that makes him kinda a Great
general and Great Politican. He was also the first to lead the
Roman army to Britain if i'm not wrong, after he conquered
Gaul(modern-day France).&lt;/p&gt;</description>
