If I were a general, I'd be:
You scored 62 Wisdom, 81 Tactics, 46 Guts, and 38 Ruthlessness!
Washington first served as a British officer during the French and Indian War, a war which he inadvertently helped to start. Afterwards, he resigned his post to marry Martha Dandridge Custis, a wealthy widow with two children. He was elected to the House of Burgesses and became a revolutionary leader at the outset of the American Revolution, attending both the first and second Continental Congresses. Washington was appointed Commander in Chief of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War (1775-83), leading the Americans to victory over the British, although sometimes in not the most scrupulous of ways. After the war, he served as president of the 1787 Constitutional Convention. Because of his central role in the founding of the United States and enduring legacy, Washington is sometimes called the "Father of his Country."

I am not king, I am Caesar!
Heh heh. 59 Wisdom, 65 Tactics, 50 Guts, and 63 Ruthlessness.
Alea iacta esto.
not surprising, the latin scholar takes the wreath of Caesar. but which caesar? Julius, Nero, or Domitian?
Longshanks gets a bad rap in Braveheart, but he was a wizard of a general.
Gaius Julius of course! Nero and Domitian were nothing compared to him, at least in battle.
And I'm a scholar of ancient Greek, which is what Julius would've spoke more often than not, anyway.
I general-e don't know what to call you... queen-e, general-e, pink-e...
mike- you still know more latin than the rest of us- veritas et iluminatus...
for the rest to come... in life we are all at war. We must fight the right enemies and know them well or we may very well fight our allies unawares...
Well, I'm going to have to retake this thing. Sure, I was Sitting Bull last week. But I'm feeling less than, what was it--85% wisdom? I want to be one of those dead white guys like the rest of you....
Still, pretty "informative" test, huh?--Or it appears so, anyway.
By the way, anyone figure out the total number of generals in the game?
Now that's more like it: William Wallace.
"You have no problem charging a larger, better trained, better equipped, better armed and armored English army with a band of naked drunken Scotsmen."
70 Wisdom, 69 Tactics, 63 Guts, and 60 Ruthlessness
I took it a few different times and by changing the answers to certain questions that were not as easy to be certain of anyway, I came out with a different general 3 different times. First I was Edward I, then a Gallic General named Vercingetorix who fought well (but lost to) Caesar. After that, I was U.S. Grant.
I never quite figured out how many possibilities there are, but seems like a lot.
My question is: how many said it would be okay to torture someone if they had vital information that could save many people?
I'll admit that I think it is okay. Not torture for the sake of hurting someone, but when you know that the person has the key to something, simple interrogation isn't going to get the job done. Once the person cracks, of course the job is over and the wounds should be well-treated, after all the person has then done us a favor, right?
Now just in case anyone is suddenly mortified, remember we are talking about a war situation. That always changes the rules a bit. I don't believe in killing generally speaking, but in a war situation, the other guy's gonna get shot (or stabbed, or blown up) if I get the chance. In a peacetime setting however, there is no need for torture. If the person most likely doesn't know anything useful, there is no excuse for torture for the sake of punishment. Although I have to say that if I caught those guys who beheaded all of those innocent people for videotape distribution, they would get what the world thinks they deserve- an eye for an eye or a neck for a neck.
hey well, so far nobody has come out saying that the test showed them to be Pol Pot, Edi Amin, or Stalin, so at least we're okay...
Huzzah for TORTURE!
(Of course, I only agreed to it when the guy had reason to know something.) Speaking of torture, I finally posted something last night--and it touches on "coercion." It's been so long since I wrote, but there are miles to go before I sleep and so on. Whose woods these are, I think I know.
and whose words those are, i think I know...
