If you could choose past or present service members to serve with, who would you choose on your fantasy military team?

Throughout the year in neighborhoods, schools, offices and work site groups of friends and coworkers participate in fantasy sports leagues. I thought it might be a good idea to develop a fantasy military team league.
Your team could be from the past, present or a combination.
I lean towards a past team and a current RallyPoint member team.
Unlike the traditional fantasy teams we could all include the same person in our draft choices.
Since RallyPoint limits us to tagging 20 names, I thought that 20 would be a good limit for a team size.

My dream team of RallyPoint members would include COL Mikel J. Burroughs, LTC Stephen C., MAJ Robert (Bob) Petrarca, CH (MAJ) William Beaver, CPT (Join to see), CPT (Join to see), 1LT(P) L S, GySgt Wayne A. Ekblad, SSG James J. Palmer IV aka "JP4", SSgt (Join to see), Sgt Richard Buckner, SGT Robert Hawks, SGT Forrest Stewart, SPC (Join to see), TSgt Hunter Logan, PO1 John Miller, PO3 Steven Sherrill, SPC Elijah J. Henry, MBA, LTC John Shaw, SrA Christopher Wright
Warning Order DTG 7/30/2015 - 1708 - R Time:
We will take down in alphabetically order Abu Sayyaf, al-Nusra Front, Al Qaeda and it variants, Al Shabab, Ansar al-Islam, Boko Horan, Hezbollah, Jemaah Islamiyah; Khorasan Group; Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan; Moro Islamic Liberation Front, the Iranian Republican Guards and the Taliban. To some degree they are interconnected in motivation, communications, intel and targeting.
We would initiate internecine fighting between Al Shabab, Al Qaeda and Boko Horan in Africa and get the various Sunni and Shia groups fighting in Iraq and Syria and then get the Indonesian and Philippines radical Muslims going against each other.
We will also work to undermine Russian influence in Iran, Syria, Yemen, and the Baltic states.
