[elehhhhna]

Take a one-month relaxation break while prosecuting a War?

Name ONE.

[Renew Deal]

1. Alexander the Great?

Wasn't he partying in Persia while his troops were fighting in Israel? I could be wrong about that.

[Botany]

2. Nero?

Or Chief Lazy Horse?

:rofl:

[elehhhhna]

3. General Custer?

[Botany]

8. No custer had time off for disciplinary reasons but he was .....

..... a worker ..... "I will follow those Indians on their ponies over that Hill."

Even though his scouts and officers told him not to.
BTW he had a "gattling (SP ??) gun" but did not take it with him because it
was too much trouble.

Kind of like * not reading his Dad's book about why taking control of Iraq
was very bad idea.

eom

5. well -- by the answers so far -- not unless

it was a few thousand years ago -- when we could do little more than club each other senseless.

that should give you SERIOUS pause.

7. But in those days

"leader" meant the guy up front.

[XemaSab]

9. As opposed to

the guy so far in the back he's at the exact opposite point on the earth from where the battle is being fought?

(not literally true, but metaphorically for sure)

6. John Adams took a LONG vacation--over a month--during the Quasi War

Of course that was against the French.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

10. I know FDR went to Warm Springs a lot...

Don't know if any visits were THAT long. But it was for health reasons, so if he did it's not the same as a lazy fratboy.
