That was when George was a colonial officer in charge of forces fighting FOR the Brits. Of course he did much better on his own later!
God had plans for him early on.
He was actually pretty mediocre as a British officer.
If the British hated Washington after their Yorktown defeat in 1781, how much more would they despise his memory a century or so later when the United States had become a transcontinental industrial & military power and the chaps in London looked across the Atlantic and said “Damn his eyes! All that could have been ours!”
