      I just meant it was the first time since the country had been officially founded. The powers that be slapped a tax on probably the dumbest popular commodity they could find, and had to send an army with Washington himself to quell the predictable result.
      Great precedent setting. Been downhill ever since, to the tune of hundreds of BILLIONS per year...
      One can only wonder where that money goes.

      @@BeingFireRetardant George Washington and officers from the First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry (they crossed the Delaware with him and starved at Valley Forge) bar tab to celebrate the signing of the constitution was $15,000 on the low end after adjusting for inflation. It was 89 pounds, 4 shillings, and 2 pence back then.
      He famously declined a salary as Commander in Chief of the Continental Army, but would accept reimbursement for his expenses (he was already a rich man that just got richer, at one point he was worth .19% of the entire GDP). He recorded every single thing. He had spent $160,000 by 1783. In terms of economic power translated to todays economy, he would be the fourth richest man in America. The man lived like he was at Mount Vernon for 8 years in the field.
      Nobody sends the President of the United States at the head of an army to put down an armed rebellion. Especially when that President is in his 60's and is George Washington. He sends himself. Him going helped to end the rebellion, as nobody wanted to fight him. He then pardoned the only two men convicted of charges.
      It wasn't that whiskey was a popular commodity, it was that it was one of the only commodity frontiersmen could export. The distances involved between getting corn from the Ohio Territory to the east was so long, grains would rot. Add the tax onto the general feeling of discontent that was due to the Northwestern Indian War going badly, spain refusing to allow Americans to use the Mississippi for trade, etc, and you get people angry at the Eastern Elite. Even in the east, after conscription of 13,000 militiamen (a larger army than any Washington had commanded before) you get the raising of freedom poles and anti-conscription riots. Any other president would have presided over the collapse of the United States, but Washington settled it peacefully, and legally, just by being there.

It was designed in one night in the bathroom of a hotel room and dropped a toilet bomb in vietnam. Designed around the engine, the same one from the b-29, it was used in many roles but my favorite was CASEVAC. During the Vietnam war, there was always one loitering overhead because of its fuel capacity. Because of this whenever a pilot needed rescuing a Sky raider was always the first one in and the last one out

    The Soviets may have put the first "Intentional" artificial satellite into orbit, but we might have beat them with a nuclear powered manhole cover during Operation Plumbbob (if it didnt just vaporise from friction heat for going so fast).
    In theory, the intentional use of such a projectile and method against an orbital target is known as a "Thunderwell"
    Then of course there was Operation Orion, with the idea of riding continous nuclear detonations to space on a giant shock absorber.
    Or Project Pluto, a nuclear jet engine powered bomber that would just continually circle the north pole, ready to bomb the Soviets, and probably would have provoked them into launching an attack.
