The problem is, the creation of such a man breaks him fundamentally. The Ottomans took Vlad and his brother from his father as slave-tribute and were both turned into bacha-bazi/rape-toys. So you can see where the rage came from. Yes, he is very much a needed type for jobs that have to be done, but should be removed from that position as soon as there's no job left to do. Everyone focuses on Vlad's resounding success with the Ottomans, but he had to scorched-earth his own lands to do it. He also continued the practice of impaling on *his own population* after the Ottomans were chased off.
