Love America, love GW but surely you dont think he was one of the most innovative generals in human history? There are many more generals who are American who have been more innovative, compared to HUMAN history. 

Unless maybe I am mistake and you’re referring to someone else? Still, America’s victory in the Revolutionary War was due to popular opinion and guerrilla warfare rather than good leadership on the battlefield. Although to his credit George did do a good job crossing the Delaware. Besides that there weren’t many outright victories he commanded, and I can’t think of any innovations really.

GW’s true contributions are from what he did as America’s first president and his example as a politician. Helped prevent an American dictator or king, which is critical to America’s identity.

Yeah, George Washington had incredible leadership skills--in other areas. The ability to inspire people and to forge himself into a person people respect, how he slowly changed his mind about other states and the principles of limited power (he even came around on Slavery and African Americans to certain extent, which is bonkers). He's just an inspiring figure. 


Just... you know...not exactly for his strategic abilities. Or...many of the other things you might want in a General.
