The fact that he has risen though the ranks from 1st LT, to General of the Coalition forces in Iraq.
He graduated of his class at west point- he knows what its like to be a solider, he stresses the need to teach solders how to fight in any circumstances, and he is a reformer. As much was Patton's career was excusing that he fought in a world war.
PHP:
1) Peacekeeping operations in Bosnia-Hertzegovina
Known as a ex-war zone turned into success
PHP:
2) Peacekeeping ops in Haiti
Again, it was a war zone- and involved divisonal groups of combatants.
PHP:
3) A babysitting Kuwait operation
its not a baby sitting mission when your regiment takes well over 400 POWs and launches the longest air assault in history and tilted the balance of the war- it was a ingenious plan and brilliantly executed.
4) The Iraq 2003 war.
PHP:
Only one of the enumerated is a conventional military operation, and even that one is a "shoot fish in a barrel" exercise
So i guess it shouldn't count as experience?
.
PHP:
Just what the heck is so brilliant about him
?
His plans and strategy has cut US monthly loses to its lowest ever- as well as civilian casulties and violent innocents. He is one of THE top dogs when it comes to counter insurgency warfare and has devastated Al-queada's ranks.
Tips are up dramatically, the Iraqi government is stronger and more stable- ever since he took command things have gone from a stalemate- to near victory.
PHP:
There's absolutely no way Petraeus is going to be the next Kurt Student for the simple reason that proficiency in counterinsurgency and proficiency on a conventional battlefield are two different things.
I think Peterus is in a class of his own, conventional warfare and counter insurgency both are hard- but counter insurgency deals more with lines of supply long term strategy and popular support.
I think he proved himself well in his previous conventional engagements, and his strategy for Iraq and how well its working only shows how in depth his strategies are.
PHP:
In-game skills and traits refer to conventional battles.
I think it condenses everything into 'over all battle effectiveness of the leadership'
PHP:
The final piece that shows you have no idea what the heck you are talking about,Jade Rat
I think you ended up looking like a fool who hates the General and wants to be-little him- you have a crush on Casey or something?

PHP:
is your request to give Petraeus "suppression abilities".There are no such traits in HOI2
I'm not a moder, i never claimed to be- i was only saying what traits fit him best.
