And lets not forget that Teddy Roosevelt once gve an hour and a half long speech with a bullet freshly lodged into his chest.
jackson fought one battle at new orleans come on thats a joke. got luckie and spain did not really try to defend flordia at all and the native amercians thats not even a challange when you have guns and they have bow and arrows.
washington held our country together avoided a war with france. bet enland with really no good army when british poored all they could to keep us british. come on not to mention he fought france and native americans. while is was with the british in the middle of the forest
It's not always the difficulty. it's the style.
George Washington doesn't ern as many style points in my book. Plus he stood up against his entire army under his control when they were about to go back to Tennessee by himself (Jackson)
washington had 20,000 men half desarted him and he still managed to pull of a win how is that not bad ass?

Jackson fought the Battle of New Orleans with 2000 men. Only a handful (maybe a dozen or so) were actual soldiers. The British had around 10,000 veteran soldiers. One battle, but Jackson won it brilliantly.
Oh, and the natives did have firearms. Along with bows and arrows (which have a much higher rate of fire then any musket).
And Washington, other then the one French lordling, and near the end of the war, and really nothing to do with the French since the French and Indian War.

He was helped by the french, a guy who would later turn against the country, a strategist because he had no strategy and his men hd to be whipped into shape by yet another guy.

really yet it was washington who would turn the tied of the war by his deminare and his desisions. at a 6 mounth period congress granted washington full power of the united states meaning he was a dictator.. and he gave that up all that power.
the french did very little besides keep the british at yorktown with there navy
As 2009 comes to an end I feel the best effort I could give to the longest thread thread is to re-post some of my favorite pics from the past year. Because talking about the year would just get depressing. Except for Quirk Jr, of course. I feel like the hardships of 2009 prepared me for whatever 2010 can throw at me.
