Who are the worst military leaders in history?
There's been a lot of boneheaded clusterfucks in military history but here are my top four.
And one of my picks died in battle in a thick, swampy, shithole at the Battle of Teutoburg Forrest and lost THREE LEGIONS of Roman soldiers because he was stupid and trusted the man who tricked him and had him killed by suckering him into an ambush and then sent in massive hoards of barbaric, Germanic tribesmen to slaughter everyone in sight.
What a way to go, huh?
- General Robert Nivelle
- Darius III
- Santa Anna
- Pablius Varus
