I saw this question on another forum and thought I'd ask here. In my oppinion it would be Colonel Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, the German Commander in German East Africa in World War One.
Who does anyone else think should win this prize, and why?

I think the North Vietnamese deserve a nomination. They fought Japan, France and America to a standstill.
The Finns might be a contender, fighting off a massive Russian army (for a while) and beating their butts badly in the beginning.
The RAF in the Battle of Britain.
The defenders of Wake Island
The American Indian

I think the U.S. ground troops in Operation Desert Storm because before the war started, it was reported that the casualties would be in the tens of thousands, the Iraqi Army would use nuclear and chemical weapons, and their million man army had been battle hardened by the Iran-Iraq war. All of these predictions were entirely debunked in 100 hours with 87,000 Iraqis surrendering, the Iraqi Army in Kuwait either dead or taken prisoner, less than 300 casualties, and the occupation of half of Iraq.
