you can be anyone in history, who would you want to be?
it's a question on my homework.
I'm really bored so just answer this, yes?
so this is just a free-for all question, anyone can reply!
tell me who, and tell me WHY.

I know this is going to cause some skepticism among other things, but the truth is I would love to know how Adolf Hitlers mind worked. I love to write and anyone with that kind of eloquence and presence that awed an entire nation is surely someone worth considering. His leadership skills were really something else, especially since everything he preached was the opposite of his physical self.
 
Alexander. To have bested the mightiest empire in the world. People would remember my name for all time.
 
Parmenion.

He was the greatest general of Philip II of Macedon- and Alexander's era. King Philip said "A wonderful people are the Athenians. They elect ten new generals every year. In all my life I have known only one--and that is Parmenion."

Parmenion was a major influence in the formation of the tough, disciplined and professional Macedonian army whose tactics would dominate land warfare for centuries. The tactical strategy of Macedon, developed by Parmenion, was to hold the enemy infantry and central cavalry units in place with the sarissa--a 4 - 7 meter pike--and the phalanx along the center and left. Their superb cavalry forces could then attack decisively from the flank.

Thomas Jefferson. I would have had the satisfaction of knowing that I wrote the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America which would influence nations for over 200 years or more into the future.
