Who would you say has been the greatest Us Marine Corps Commander in history thus far? Why?

I am interested especially in the opinions of any current or retired military personal.

I have heard similiar heated debates and several candidates put forward in other branches of the military but never for The Marine Corps.

In 1836, the United States was waging war against the Creek and Seminole tribes in Georgia and Florida. The fifth commandant of the Marine Corps, Col. Archibald Henderson, volunteered to take care of the situation. He took the entire available strength of the Corps and left for the campaign after pinning a message on his office door.

The note read:

"Gone to Florida to fight Indians.
Will be back when the war is over."
— A. Henderson
Col. Commandant
