PBS wanted to make sure we knew that George Washington, our founding father,

was an idiot. Watching the documentary on the French and Indian war was depressing, as they hacked away at George's reputation, blamed him for the start of the war and made him seem like a jealous, incompetent soldier that loved killing for killing's sake. The very last impression they left of him was that he was a gigolo. I guess if it hadn't been for George, the French and British would have shared North America and ruled benevolently over it to this day. It was a fascinating documentary. I guess Michael Mann did a good deal of research before he filmed Last of the Mohicans because his version of the movie seems to be historically acurate.
