Loved by one's enemies or feared by one's friends?

I am sure if it was a vote from the general public, Rommel or Napoleon would be the first two generals people would think of.

My top four

1. Napoleon
2. Yamashito
3. Rommel
4. Washington

My reasoning Napoleon was a great general and was an impeccable enemy of England.
Yamashito inflicted our greatest defeat in a single campaign.
Rommel was a great general respected by both sides
Washington won his war which none of the others did although not a "great" general he was far better than his opponents.
