Washington is a great choice mostly because of his humility. He was able to resist the temptation that was offered several times to basically make him America's king. Resisting the lust of power has to be hard especially that level of power. Washington I don't think gets enough credit for creating the true measure of what it means to be President and for his true love of this country over even himself.

Exactly and when you look at how he lead men against the biggest of odds, you get a glimpse of a man filled with great courage.

Washington was aware of the big picture, he followed his script really well.

Pffft, Teddy wouldnt' shake a stick at Andrew Jackson. AJ told his would be dueler to shoot first. AJ took the bullet and shook it off. Other guy, not so lucky.
While president, AJ gave his would-be pistol assassin a near death beating with a stick. He was saved by presidential aides.
Only badasses get a nickname 'Old Hickory'.

Thomas "The Fighting Gamecock" Sumter ... of course I do. Everyone does. There is no denying him or Francis Marion. And you had to be a real badass to be named Francis in those days.

Nathan Bedford, Robert Edward and Thomas Jonathan ... I have portraits of all three of those men on a main wall in my library.
Forrest is, without a doubt, the most vilanized great man of all time. I almost named one of my girls after him but my first wife wouldn't allow it unfortunately.

I picture Sumter and Marion as Mel Gibson.
You know Sumter was a badass when Cornwallic called him his "greatest plague."
