Jefferson Davis

You're kidding right?

Lincoln, The Civil War came down to the force of his will.

 

[bigdaddysaints]

Harry Truman.... he knows how to end a war.

Harry Truman.... he knows how to end a war.

But he didn't know how to handle the Russians.

Lincoln, The Civil War came down to the force of his will.

The same could be said of Lenin.

But, yes I was kidding. Best wartime Pres., probably Polk

Washington did fairly well before he was president, does that count?

 

[Mamba]

I'm with puma, Washington gets my vote.

 

[LSSpam]

The same could be said of Lenin.

No, it really couldn't.

Andrew Jackson baby. :17: And certainly FDR.

Any of our early presidents while we were actually at war (Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison to be sure).

Some would argue for Woodrow Willson but it's known that he squashed internal dissent vs. our actions in WW1.

Woodrow Wilson was among the worst, IMO.

 

[Doobsdemons]

No, it really couldn't.

The Russian Civil War didn't come down to Lenin's force of will? My bad. I'll go reread some history. Ok and technically he wasn't ruler of Russia during the war, I'll grant that. Relax Spam. By now you should know most of my posts are tongue in cheek. Sheesh... try decaf.

Truman:

ended War in the Pacific with minimal loss of US life;
architect of policy that eventually led to the defeat of the Soviet Union with relatively little loss of American life.
