I'd give Thomas Paine a second to GW. GW was in some brutal battles early in his career, some he might have been at fault for, but he matured.
Was a big Jefferson fan, but if you read Founding Fathers he was a bit of a windbag and never fought but with his pen.
Do you know your American history?I think a great man, but wouldn't call him a bad A$$He died in a dual because he purposely missed.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Hamilton

Definitely GW.
Surrounded by brilliant minds, diplomats and military leaders of his day...by the close of the Revolutionary War, THEY all had no doubt who the man at the top should be.
With all due respect to other major milestones in this country's history, the 10 days at the end of 1776 into the beginning of 1777 were the most momentous ever for the U.S.

Ben Franklin!
Thomas Jefferson authored the documents that define our union, rights and political system. These documents are on par with the world's greatest historical documents and with out George Washington there would likely be no USA.
However, Ben Franklin had his hands in everything, he was not a military man, but he convinced the French to join the war, which was crucial to our victory. Franklin contributed so much to this country that no other American has come close. The public school system, the first library, hospital, daily newspaper, insurance, fire fighting and I think he was the first person to propose American independence.

I've studied him extensively and if you are basing your entire opinion on that duel (the specifics of which are in controversy) I can't give much credence to your opinion.
