1. Napoleon (arguably the greatest military genius ever), I'm surprised no vets here mentioned him yet...

2. Abraham Lincoln (one of the greatest Presidents ever)

3. Jesus of Nazerith (The first bible was written 50 years after Jesus's death, I'd be curious to see how much of it was true to the actual man).

Any military skill napoleon had didnt help him much in Russia

I´ll take a piece of that.

I tend to like an eclectic mix of people...

1. Winston Churchill - how can you not? The man was absolutely brilliant!
2. Robert Edward Lee - I believe that he was one of if not the greatest General in American history.
3. Robert Bruce - just to find out if the spider story really happened and if he really killed the Red Comyn (or at least if he'd admit to it).

If one of them were not available I would either choose Ulysses S. Grant, or Somerled (The Gaelic Viking that became the first Laird of the Isles)

1. Sun Tzu
2. Norbert Wiener (The father of cybernetics)
3. Angelina Jolie (so that I could tell her to dump Brad for me!)
