Well my friend CPL Dave Hoover I have known many Generals over the decades and had the honor of marching as a USMA Cadet for General of the Army Omar N. Bradley in 1978. Three of my friends are active four-star Generals and a few others are retired four-star generals.
1. From last century I would like to talk with Erwin Rommel, Heinz Guderian, Eric von Manstein and Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov.
2. For all time, I would like to talk with Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus who defeated Carthaginian leader Hannibal at the Battle of Zuma (202 BC), ending the Second Punic War. For his victory he won the surname Africanus (201 BC).
3. Charlemagne, Frederick the Great, and Genghis Khan would also be very interesting to talk with.
Thank you for mentioning me, my friend SP5 Mark Kuzinski

I walked right by it...Stopped dead in my tracks, backed up and there it was....The exact picture that I have all framed up nice....! I asked the fellow behind the counter where they got that picture? (I have the negative too) He had no idea...

Army: Ike

Air Force: Olds
Bonus...George Washington. Both because he's probably the greatest General we've ever had and like myself was a Freemason. I'm a WWII "junkie" so I'd focus on that generation the most.
