George Washington was a study in self control and discipline. His life is covered in great detail. His formative years as a young officer are enlightening and gruesome. His reputation for honesty is probably exaggerated. He knew when to keep quiet when things went badly.
He also chose to marry Martha Washington over another women who was less financially endowed. His experience at near bankruptcy with items financed from England is a cautionary tale for the current fiscal problems with the US Treasury.
