George Washington was a mediocre general, at best.
- Lost more battles than he won
- Won a small war against an island nation 2500 miles away
- Didn't show up for the big battles - (Lost battles in New York, Philadelphia when they really counted)
- Consistently passed the buck on big decisions to States and Congress
- Lack of control of officers under his command (several traitorous incidents, Arnold, etc.)
- Directly responsible for the freezing deaths of many soldiers
