Not MY Jesus, Motherf**ker!
My initial reaction too, but is it a well founded reaction? Jesus wept. Good men weep. Found the following.
General George Washington wept as he said farewell to his officers at Fraunces Tavern in New York in December 1783. He wept even more profusely when he resigned his commission in Annapolis a few weeks later. Those tears were not merely sentimental. There was a lot of private anguish in them—anguish that had to do with Washington’s troubled relationship with his officers, their bitter quarrel with Congress, and the scarifying unpopularity that had engulfed the Continental Army in the months after they disbanded in July 1783.
Very well said, DannyTN.

Good reply, mate! Looks to me like he was tearing up in pain and frustration. I have the same reaction right before I get into deep trouble and making bail becomes a thing. Patton used to do it, too. Sometimes, tears are shed before blood is shed.

Would Jesus and Washington have wept when (falsely) accused by a bunch of whining sodomite acivists?
BTTT.
Always on my list of must stops, when in NYC....to offer a toast to Washington.
