By exceptional general do you mean Washington?

As far as strategy he was middling, tactics mediocre which he himself admitted.

>>2688007
His ability to keep up the morale of random men with muskets who were facing a massive world power and his ability to counter the British soldier formation with guerilla tactics proves his excellence.

What is the general view of the founders over in the UK?

The victor is always supposed to be modest. :^)

Washington had the ability to save his army time and time again, he also drew on the abilities of others to turn his rag tag soldiers into something approaching professionals. He also understood the importance of intelligence.

He was not a great general but he was a good general.
