Holy shit George Washington would hate this policy. He was done being commander in chief! That's why he stepped down after 2 terms! I get it's symbolic, but his whole thing regarding the office was "don't deify me."

Which would really explain why he might come back as a zombie. The rage just builds until he pops up out of his grave and shouts, "DID I STUTTER?"

Counterpoint. These are military titles and not presidential ones. When Washington left office he wanted his official formal title to return to General and not President. Meaning he would be more okay with this.

Which makes The Apotheosis of Washington pretty ironic. Beautiful, though.

It’s the year 30,000. God-Emperor George Washington moans to life and leads Earth to war against the rest of the universe.

A man reads the news of this break on his shigawire paper. "Huh that sucks," he says, desensitized. "Still not the worst thing to happen this year" he muses to himself. He turns to get back into the food line, the zombie apocalypse on distant Terra already forgotten.

Just generals

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

this tradition stems for Washington holding a general rank in the British military before rebellion, and the US traditionally never having a rank higher than the one he held in the British military, so when we actually did need those ranks because practicality, they just bumped him up.

Usual US militarism

A reanimated body couldn't be worse at governing than our current administration.

Do zombies follow rules of engagement and chain of command?

[–] amino@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 6 days ago

if the zombie apocalypse ever happens, there will be a lot of Black people he owned wanting to play football with his decapitated head

I doubt there’s that much left of him apart from the dentures.

North Korea does something similar. America needs to get over the founding fathers and progress as a country.
