Could you imagine what that must have been like, the first president, no one to go off of, you are about to loose your country while tryign to convince people you stand for something great, so you get back on your horse with your sword at old age and fucking lead 13,000 soldiers into possible battle, getting the rebels to stand down...
this was a miracle, and I think I know which side pol would have been on...

I guess I phrased the title wrong, in part because the thread title would be too long
George Washington is the only President to have personally led soldiers into battle while in office
aside from an accidental misfire which caused a brief exchange of fire, killing a couple of rebels, Washington got the rebels to stand down
