I agree with Nick Gisburne and larry.

Washington lost more battles than he won, but he was ultimately successful -- the most important test for any general.

He was a master of disengaging and retreating from an attacking enemy while preserving his army. Contrast Washington's skill at this task with that of Horatio Gates at Camden.

@Kalel -- if the dog does it well enough, you don't even need to wash!

I once tricked my wife into believing that I was just letting the dog lick the plates before putting them back into the cabinets.

The Apple II is the first computer that I ever used. I was in the first grade.

In 2000 or so, I ran across a couple that were still used in a high school school computer lab.

CamilleR is correct. Hitler wasn't a choice because he was a field commander.

Caesar (Julius and Claudius) would have been excluded because the debate was limited to the Seventeenth Century onward.
