Why don't presidents fight the war?

Alexander the Great was the first over the wall when invading a city.

Yea there's no way the first person over a wall wouldn't get immediately mercd by everyone on top who isn't fighting anyone yet.

He was! He took an arrow to the lung and they thought he was dead!

I saw a picture of George Washington leading troops on a crappy boat. Why isn't Biden out on a crappy boat somewhere? Lol

Why wasn't Trump? Why wasn't Obama? Why wasn't Bush? It's hardly just Biden.

I wasn't singling him out he is just the current president and I can't imagine him in that position lol.

I like Joe.

Was Washington leading troops after he became president though?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because he wasn’t president then. Eisenhower led troops as did Grant

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

George Washington did lead troops one time as president, with the secretary of the Treasury at his side.

There was a little revolt over taxes on whiskey and when he showed up they surrendered.

The joke was that Biden is really old.
