Washington was first a foremost a politician and knew how to work the system. A good example of this is his letter to congress about Valley Forge. The conditions at the camp were pretty good. The men had plenty of food, were in warm cabins, and had uniforms. Officer wives were there with their husbands including Martha Washington, but when Washington reported to congress he stated that the conditions were bad. He did this because he knew if he reported that the troops were doing well congress would cut funding.
