When GW surrendered Fort Necessity he was 22 years old and had less military training then a jrROTC freshman.

Yes, indeed. His first step onto the world history stage wasn’t a happy one. But the fact that his actions helped to start a world-wide conflict and certainly attracted the notice of his king can’t be denied. He latter proved his mettle at the Battle of the Monongahela where he successfully led the British army to safety.

The greatness of Washington is often overlooked today
