Eisenhower, I think he is the prime example of: "Amateurs talk strategy, generals talk logistics".

As he also became President after the war, he also had an understanding of the politics of war, not just the military aspects of warfare, but also that the wider and deeper context of war is important.

That or Zhuge Liang.  Actually, I'd choose Zhuge because he knew of what Sun taught (and used it on Sun's descendants) and applied it to everything else he knew.
