Washington was a great man ofc but far outshined by the other members of the Revolutionary Generation in the brains dept--and he knew it! Hence, listening to Hamilton
FDR? lol, C- student at both his elite boarding school and Harvard, which means 'Fs' at a public secondary or State U
But like Washington, FDR knew he wasn't the smartest man in the room but wasn't threatened by it
Hence promoting George Marshall when he was the only one w/the guts to tell FDR he was wrong when he thought so
