Perfect timing for April 19th, folks!

He beat out Michael Collins, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Mustafa Ataturk for the honor of greatest military foe of Britain. 

In today's relationship between America and Britain, perhaps not the greatest distinction we could hope for the good General and President to earn... but an interesting tidbit of 18th century that you can take to your next 'Seed and share with your shooters.

I was just about to post this.

Great find! Great article.

Interestingly, the comments sections of online news articles normally being a troll convention, are generally uplifting.
