Don Wildman

It's extensive, to say the least.

And it does go back to the Mexican-American War as well.

This man was involved from beginning to end of the preliminaries to the Civil War and then all the way through to the Battle of the Crater, 1864, in the Siege of Petersburg.

But his lasting legacy is the flip of his name.

Okay.

He had these amazing, you know, facial hair.

And so they took Burnside and they switched it around and it's now a sideburn.

You grow your sideburns just because in honor of Burnside.

Kind of weird.

All right.

The last on our list, Major General Lloyd Friedenhall, who many people may have never heard of.

World War II, North Africa is his, you know, stain on his character.

Let's discuss where this guy comes from and why does he belong on this list.

He had a disregard for military procedure.

He gave weird orders, you know, he gave really weird kind of convoluted things he would do almost like they were coded, but it was just sort of badly done.

Right.

Interesting.

I mean, I have a quote here.

This is one of his orders that he wrote.

Have your boss report to the French gentleman whose name begins with a J at the place which begins with the D, which is five grid squares to the left of M. I don't even know how that works, but clearly a symptom of a larger problem.
