What is so bad about the french military leader Napolean?

He wanted to take over the world.  Now if someone is short and loud and obnoxious and "tough" we say they have Napolean Syndrome/Complex.

Après un début difficile dut essentiellement à une saison ou il n'a pas été épargné par les blessures, le grand Patrick monte en régime et revients à son meilleurs niveau......la preuve contre le Togo. C'est un joueur hors du commun avec des qualités physiques exceptionnelles et une technique peu commune pour ce genre de joueurs. Je pense que les adversaires de l'équipe de France ne font pas assez attention à lui mais tant mieux. La lumière pourrai venir de Viera pour la France dans cette coupe du Monde..... :D

From the point of view of those of us here in Europe, he executed a lot of bad guys. So that's an accomplishment. Good or bad depends on your politics.

Yes, and yes.  \n\nCorrespondance de Napoléon Ier Tome V pièce n° 4287 du 17/07/1799..." \n\n"I hope the time is not far off when I shall be able to unite all the wise and educated men of all the countries and establish a uniform regime based on the principles of Qur'an which alone are true and which alone can lead men to happiness." \nhttp://www.cyberistan.org/islamic/quote2.html#napolean\n\nNapoleon had asked in his will to be buried on the banks of the Seine, but was buried on Saint Helena. In 1840, his remains were taken to France in the frigate Belle-Poule and entombed in Les Invalides, Paris. Hundreds of millions have visited his tomb since that date.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_I_of_France

Think of the coldest, wettest and most miserable you have ever been.  Multiply by a hundred.  You should get a rough idea.  \n\nNapoleon took his army into Russia too close to winter and in the end, they were faced by a worse enemy than the Russian forces: Russian weather.\n\nThe troops were alway hungry, facing a tough, determined enemy and a climate that French soldiers were not even close to being ready to face.  \n\nIt was so bad that a large portion of the surviving Frenchmen went home without even boots on their feet and only socks and strips of old blankets to prevent them from losing their feet as they marched on.

oh yes dont you know we control everything.\n\nbtw would you like a job controlling half of France. It seems no one wants to manipulate it lately, it might be the smell. It pays well...\n\noh and dont worry about Glen. Mosad  agents are on their way to capture and reprogam him as we speek.

Louis XVI was a "good" king, he had no "carism", he was  just a good Handyman. But he ruined france, more than france was already when he decided to help the "future United-stated" against the biggest french enemy, the british. At that time, french had got a big part of the present territory of USA, high from Louisiana(in homage of Louis XIV) to Quebec. all the valley of the Mississippi was french's territory. U must Know cities like "Baton Rouge", "New Orleans/La Nouvelle Orléans" in French or "Louisville, Mississippi", "Nashville","Cape Girardeau","st louis" or "DES MOINES", or THE "Maine" like the "Maine-et-loire" in France, Montpelier, vermont etc... You understand why french didn't wanna see british next to their colony. after the independance day of the USA france was totaly bankrupted and began one of the more dangerous country until the French revolution and the government couldn't do anything with "impotent king" who started to lose his head...

Your quote is from Alexis de Tocqueville, who was a member of the French Aristocracy and favored monarchy over democracy. He came to America shortly after the French Revolution to study democracy up close and personal. He didn't like it much, but why would he? He had it pretty good under the French monarchical system. At least understand what it is you're ranting about.

As a neighbor he might not be a bad guy, I could see drinking a beer and watching a baseball game with him. However as a world leader he leaves quite a bit to be desired...the environmental problems have been mounting for years so the blame can't solely be his, my main beef with his 'regime' has been the fact that he condemns religious fanatasism (sp?) abroad and embraces it at home...

The French Foreign Legion is an arm of the french army it is made up entirely of foreigners except for the regular french army officers in command.  1 out of every 10 new recruits that make it through training will be killed in action in their first tour of duty.  They are best known for their attempted overthrow of the french government, and the battle of dien ben phu(spelling) when in french indio china.  Their training regiment rivals that of the SF programs that we have here in America, desert training, and jungle training are conducted in hot zones.  The french send these guys in first mainly because they are not french citizens, you can compare them to the SAS, SBS, and SF here in America.  You just dont hear a lot about them but they are currently involved in operations in Chad, as well as in south america.  I wouldnt worry about them they are mostly sent out on suicide missions, because the french dont care about them.

I'd wonder what was wrong with his own country that he feels the need to serve another one in the military.  Then I'd wonder if he had a incorrect view of this country's military.  It isn't all glamorous like the commercials say, and there is certainly nothing wrong with serving your own country honorably.

L'equipe de France, n'a certes pas de fond de jeu, ou bnien traverse une tres mauvaise periode. Du moins, il est impossible de critiquer Bernard Laporte, il fait un tres bon travail a la tete de l'equipe, depuis plusieurs annees, ce n'est pas maintenant qu'il est devenu mauvais, non !!!!!!

are you serious?? i think if the french ARMY encountered one battalion of the Royal Marines they would defacate in their ugly uniforms and surrender... or they would try to call the US and THEN surrender...

He was a great leader.  He mainly used fear as a means to get followers.  He was also very cunning, using very intelectual plans in sabotaging enemy's.

I don't think it's just now.  Napoleon was a dramatic figure in world history--a brilliant tactician (for the most part!), notorious for his behavior.  He's a great study in how to do some things, and how not to do others.
