It could be a commander, strategist, or a "grunt." Regardless, he or she should be a BAMF!
Please say why, and post a picture.
I nominate Jack Churchill, who carried a sword and bow into WWII!

Sir,
No disrespect, but carrying a claymore and longbow into battle during WWII is truly bringing a knife to a gun fight.

MAJ Robert (Bob) Petrarca
well, unless its the other kind of claymore, then you'd have a better shot at winning.

I understand there are individuals that have accomplished great things, and people that have done things to help the world. However the greatest warriors of all time would be the individuals that gave their lives for their fellow soldiers and comrades and to their countries.

Genghis Khan,
we still talk about his wrath! This great Mongol leader's domination as a warrior, warlord, leader, and progenitor are unparalleled in history. To found the Mongol empire, Khan led his armies from Japan to Iran, leaving behind an estimated death toll in the tens of millions. Such was his virility, though, that research published in the American Journal of Human Genetics in 2003 suggested that as much as 0.5% of the current male population is descended from him.

I have thought about this and considered many, However the answer in my book is any man or woman willing to give up all to wear a uniform and fight for liberty and justice for the undeserving and Constitution haters and are believers in a Supreme Being. Do this everyday for little pay , no respect, no thank you, no assistance in times of need and continue to do it as a career or as a dedicated Patriot. Well they are the Greatest Warriors. Medals and acts of heroism are done by these every day sometimes two or tree times a day. They are embarrassed at being brought to the forefront for recognition and always say " Hey these Brothers and Sisters were right beside me, Some of them wrote the check in full I just wrote in to whom it may concern! My Duty To y Flag, Country, Constitution and Family. Nothing else nothing more nothing expected!

His Ranger Tab story turned out to be a little embarrassing. Still, 10 SS is nothing to sneeze at.
