They probably dont.

6'8, weighs a fucking ton

One word: Cope.

The British National Army Museum voted him as their greatest opponent ever. There's also a statue of Washington in Trafalgar Square.

>The British National Army Museum voted him as their greatest opponent ever
Not Napoleon?

why? he lost more battles than he won actually

he literally only lost one more battle than he won.

ummm ok and? my point still stands

off yourself

>this meme again

Pick up a fucking book

>imma bring my army over the alps which is regarded as impossible but only lose like 2/3rds of my guys up there
SO GOOD

How is that a meme? Britain had a professional army and Washington had to train one. Even the continental troops received limited training and had relatively short conscriptions of about 2 years. My own ancestors served in this war.

At its largest the continental army around 40,000 troops in the field. The French and Spanish had 63,000.
It wasn't a professional army against farmers, it was a professional army, 10 Amerindian tribes, and their German allies, against 3.5 professional armies, 14 Amerindian tribes, and a large militia with home-field advantage.

>The French and Spanish had 63,000.
There were not 63k French and Spanish troops in the American theater of that war. Spain's role was limited and at the end, with a couple of battles in Florida and some naval action. France's role was crucial but moreso navy than army and they never put anywhere near that many soldiers in the 13 colonies. Also, again, the continental troops were on limited training compared to Brits who had a professional army where men would be soldiers as a career. For the Americans, they served a conscription term and then went back to their regular lives. I'm not saying that the Brits had everything stacked in their favor but it absolutely is a component of why Washington's record by battle has more losses than wins. And a majority of those losses occured toward the beginning of the war when he didn't have nearly the amount of French assistance that they got later on. That being said, he was just an okay tactician. He had a habit of making plans that were too complicated for the level of skill that his army actually had.

really?
the American revolution isn't a very big deal in the British empire. Settler colonies don't really make money. It's just to ease population pressure and dump prisoners. If Britain did win the war then what? i guess America would do what the commonwealth did but in the Napoleonic wars. And America would be only on the east coast and have probably 150m people but have less concentrated wealth and a westminster government.
It wasn't a existential war like the world wars or its wars against France.

cognitive dissonance

america has far surpassed britain in every metric so the man who is credited with beating them has to be "da best" for them to cope

He was a murderer, liar, warmonger, traitor, war criminal , and incompetent officer.
And a simple Google serach will tell you how many French and Spanish, and even Dutch, fought with America, it's 63,000 fighting men.

>Settler colonies don't really make money.
well they do when they are needed to produce the cash crops that enrich the home nation, and the 13 colonies were extremely valuable to the brits

>He was a murderer, liar, warmonger, traitor, war criminal , and incompetent officer.
Wow you're schizophrenic. Ok.
>And a simple Google serach will tell you how many French and Spanish, and even Dutch, fought with America, it's 63,000 fighting men.
They did not lend that level of assistance to battle in the 13 colonies. It's like if you counted every reserve or soldier stationed in Japan, SK, Germany etc. in the U.S. army as having fought in Afghanistan.

brits are asleep
hopefully they dont wake up

They had that many men fighting the British on behalf of America. It was open war
And there's nothing schizophrenic in my post
>murderer
At Jumonville Glen Washington was the officer in charge when French soldiers, including Ensign Jumonville, were murdered. It wasn't a war crime because Britain and France weren't at war, it was just murder. Ensign Jumonville, by all accounts a charming, intelligent, well-liked, connected, young officer with a bright future had his head smashed open and a half-king Indian wash his hands in his brains while Washington stood and watched, in command of it all.
>liar
He then lied about the details in his report, he would later lie following the loss of fort necessity to Ensign Jumonville's brother
>warmonger
He essentially started the 7 year's war single-handedly and was an advocate for the revolution
>traitor
Obviously
>war criminal
There wasn't really a set of war-crimes then but there were equivalents and killing German troops on Christmas in their sleep was certainly condidered a war crime. This is why we as Americans have to keep pretending the Germans were mercenaries in history class. It softens the blow of a blatantly cowardly act
>incompetent officer
The list is endless, but a great example is the aforementioned fort necessity. Not only was it not a necessity but he built it against the advice of his officers and native allies then surrendered it despite the attacking force having run out of shot and dry powder.

You should get back on your meds.

Cope

Let's be honest, most historical commanders were dumb as fuck except for the based lord Oliver Cromwell.

i hope you're trolling

make me bitch boy

the fact that this is the only british reply (and redpilled at that) is pretty much /thread

>This is why we as Americans have to keep pretending the Germans were mercenaries in history class
