I don't know why people keep suggesting that Alexander was a "spoilt brat" or why that is even relevant.
Specifically on his army, yes it was great and he did inherit it from Philip, but he showed consummate tactical skill in its use, adding in his own variations. It's also worth mentioning that the Persians did have a pretty decent army themselves.
