In a Mass Knife Fight to the Death Between Every American President, Who Would Win and Why?
I saw this on reddit a while ago, and it seems like a perfect conversation piece for this site. So, gentlemen, which president is your money riding on?
The rules:
- Every president is in the best physical and mental condition they were ever in throughout the course of their presidency. Fatal maladies have been cured, but any lifelong conditions or chronic illnesses (e.g. FDR’s polio) remain.
- The presidents are fighting in an ovular arena 287 feet long and 180 feet wide (the dimensions of the [1] Roman Colosseum). The floor is concrete. Assume that weather is not a factor.
-Each president has been given one standard-issue [2] Gerber LHR Combat Knife , the knife [3] presented to each graduate of the United States Army Special Forces Qualification Course. Assume the presidents have no training outside any combat experiences they may have had in their own lives.
- There is no penalty for avoiding combat for an extended period of time. Hiding and/or playing dead could be valid strategies, but there can be only one winner. The melee will go on as long as it needs to.
- FDR has been outfitted with a [4] Bound Plus H-Frame Power Wheelchair, and can travel at a maximum speed of around 11.5 MPH. The wheelchair has been customized so that he is holding his knife with his dominant hand. This is to compensate for his almost certain and immediate defeat in the face of an overwhelming disadvantage.
- Each president will be deposited in the arena regardless of their own will to fight, however, personal ethics, leadership ability, tactical expertise etc., should all be taken into account.
- Alliances are allowed.

Probably one of the lesser known Presidents. While everyone is trying to butcher Roosevelt and Lincoln, they will just hang out in the back until everyone is bloodied, then swoop in for victory.

Holy crap, I absolutely must watch this movie. I highly disagree with FDR's political beliefs, but this movie sounds like an absolute gem. Good find. You are a gentleman and a scholar, Cisco. Keep up the good work.

One of the early presidents who grew up in a time of dueling. Obama may have a chance as he is in very good shape.

I think it'd come down to Washington vs. Jackson vs. Roosevelt.
George H.W. would've probably fared well, too.
