I'm noticing that some people put specific units, as opposed to soldiers in general. So, here comes MY 2 bits worth. <g>
Greatest Units: Hood's Texas Brigade (Lee's Grenadier Guard), Caesar's 10th Legion, Napoleon's Old Guard, 2nd SS Panzer Division, 22nd Air Landing Division, Afrika Korps, US 1st Marine Division, US 101st Airborne Division, US 1st Infantry Division, Wellington's Light Division.
Greatest Armies: Army of Republican Rome, Army of Imperial Rome, Byzantine Army, Genghis Khan's Army, Army of Alexander the Great, Spartan Army, Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, Britain's 1914 Expeditionary Force, WW 2 German Wehrmacht, WW 2 post-1941 Soviet Army.
Greatest Soldiers: A whole bunch over history. Bravery and ability don't change, and each era of history has produced soldiers who are indistiguishable from those of another, even if they lose.
