Gentlemen, you will permit me to put on my spectacles, for I have not only grown gray but almost blind in the service of my country" George Washington.

A quote I had to remember in the Air Force. I’m not even surprised this scumbag wants to do this. Then again we have a school system that encourages students to hate their countries and the founding fathers.

It's a common debating tactic to admit to a shortcoming and pass it off as a sacrifice in order to evoke sympathy and increase your ethos. The people at the time probably rolled their eyes when they heard him say that out loud.

Given everything that Washington did both before and after the American Revolution... nah, I'm gonna give this one to him. He earned it, and probably shamed more than a few people with that statement.

It really was a different time.

It really was a different time, in that most of them studied rhetoric at the time. It was a pastime activity for the educated elite.

Maybe so but for some reason I’ve always liked the quote

They were mutineers/veterans that had served with him the entire war, were trying to get him to join, and had no idea he needed glasses.

He still didn't build those government run grocery stores that he promised. I'm looking forward to munching popcorn while reading articles of niggers robbing those stores blind.

Over budget and underdelivered. Good enough for government work.

As with "punch a Nazi", it's still a call to violence.
