George Washington was a master spymaster and understood the value of “intelligence during war”.
That did not make him a liar on the personal level. There is no evidence of that being so.
I have a number of books in my library that document this. One is by Allen Dulles. Don’t remember the other 2 without looking.
Spot on. But George Washington did in fact lie or perhaps better to say feed disinformation to the British.
He would write and seal letters to other generals and arrange the letters to be intercepted by the British. Inside were lies about troop strength and artillery, troop movements.
After the British were defeated, they complained that Washington didn’t defeat them so much on the battlefield as he did with his spying.
Juxtaposed against his ability to lie to enemies, he was the consummate gentleman of honor to his fellow citizens.
All is fair in war.
The reason we are talking about this is because we are in a war with Marxists and we are hoping Scheller is using the lie as a weapon to hurry his separation from service. We pray he has an opportunity in the future to make amends or clarify his comments regarding President Trump. But we don’t know if TDS infects his family. But whatever it is, we hope he is not believing his own commentary about Trump.
Show me where Washington, when facing charges, bad mouth the Americans who were demanding independence and bad mouthed the signers of the Declaration of Independence, all in an effort for a reduced sentence.
I’d like to see that.
