I don't know. I'm reading about the adventures of Jackson and his merry band of pirates.
I'm saying.
Teddy was a Roughrider, but Andrew Jackson was a damn Sith Lord.

Leading Greeks through Persia, Mesopotamia, India has to leadership skills, bravery, and success otherwise he wouldn't have made it past the first major battle. All his inner circle were leaders in their own right. Convincing them to go forward continuously was awesome in and of itself.

A little less impressive under a totalitarian form of government where disobedience could result in instant death maybe.

Not to take anything away from the man, but when you're born into a position where you can pretty much execute anyone who defies you leadership has to be a helluva lot easier, eh?

But he didn't, did he? He wanted to press on further into India and they said, "Enjoy, we're going home." Then Alexander wept for he saw he had no worlds left to conquer and skulked westward to an inglorious death.

Apparently, in this thread, you have to be a soldier to be an Alpha. Soldier-sniffing has never been my strong point. I'm out.

They followed him for 11 years into the unknown.

You could apply that logic to every single ancient and medieval leader except the Athenians.

Bullshit: they knew Greece; they knew Asia minor; they knew the Levant; they knew Egypt; they knew Persia--when things got all unknown they collectively said, "Fuck this."

Yea the common soldier and lieutenants "knew" those areas like the back of their hand.. with their GPS, photos, scientific analysis, and endless documentation that was all wildly available to everyone b/c of the printing press at the time and technology... For most people going to Egypt let along Afghanistan was like going to the Amazon for us today.
