Washington fucked up in an early campaign in NY, during the beginning of the revolutionary war. He was notably indecisive about retreating early from the obviously superior British forces or holding firm. The rebels end up getting #rekt while sitting on their hands. And Washington's personal assistant and confidant Joseph Reed wrote General Charles Lee a letter saying he wished Lee was in charge instead. Lee responded saying indecisiveness is basically the biggest wartime sin, moreso that even stupidity. Washington got his hands on this letter, thinking it involved military operations bc it was from Lee. He got his fee fees hurt. And then he apologized to Reed for accidentally reading a private letter.

I love this juicy drama.
