Wasn't he partying in Persia while his troops were fighting in Israel? I could be wrong about that.

8. No custer had time off for disciplinary reasons but he was .....
..... a worker ..... "I will follow those Indians on their ponies over that Hill." Even though his scouts and officers told him not to. BTW he had a "gattling (SP ??) gun" but did not take it with him because it was too much trouble. Kind of like * not reading his Dad's book about why taking control of Iraq was very bad idea.

5. well -- by the answers so far -- not unless

6. John Adams took a LONG vacation--over a month--during the Quasi War
Of course that was against the French.

10. I know FDR went to Warm Springs a lot...
Don't know if any visits were THAT long. But it was for health reasons, so if he did it's not the same as a lazy fratboy.
