Washington would have DONE exactly as Lee did in the same circumstance. I know it, I know you know it to be true although to admit that truth deflates every reconstructed myth you have been taught about US history.
You're nuts if you really believe that.
But since you like Washington then I do have a quote for you. Whenever I see you claim you love this country but hate the government I'm reminded of what Washington said about people like you: "Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism."
