Loved by one's enemies or feared by one's friends?

[Michael Murphy]

Which is to say, in the US, many of us don't think of General / President Washington as a Great Commander. ;-)

Listen up people, George Washington appears on an insane number of green pieces of paper. Those little pieces of paper, in the aggregate, control or influence a large chunk of the global economy. If that isn't clout then I don't know what is. It all comes back to the victor at Yorktown.
