One general told Kelly how Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's drinking had led him to resign as a captain in 1854. The account claims that Grant remarked: "I'll make my mark yet. I don't propose to remain in the gutter."

Well considering his presidency, he just apparently surrounded himself with men from the gutter

President Grant had bad judgment, unfortunately.
