Long before the American Revolution, George Washington gained invaluable military experience during the French and Indian War (1754–1763). As a young Virginia militia officer, he undertook dangerous missions through the frontier, scouting enemy positions, mapping unfamiliar territory, and observing French troop movements and fortifications. His earlier work as a professional surveyor sharpened his ability to read terrain, navigate wilderness, and recognize the strategic importance of accurate information before military operations began.
Washington's experiences during the French and Indian War taught him that intelligence could determine the outcome of a campaign before the first shot was fired. He witnessed firsthand the disastrous consequences of poor reconnaissance during General Edward Braddock's defeat in 1755, when British forces ignored warnings from scouts and Native American allies and marched into a deadly ambush.
Throughout his frontier service, Washington relied on scouts, guides, prisoners, settlers, and Native American allies to gather information, compare reports, and make informed military decisions. By the time the American Revolution began in 1775, Washington already understood that clandestine intelligence was one of the most powerful weapons available to a commander.
He believed military decisions should be based on verified information gathered from multiple trusted sources rather than rumor or speculation. These hard-earned lessons led him to establish sophisticated espionage networks such as the Culper Ring, which used secret agents, coded messages, invisible ink, and trusted couriers to provide the intelligence that helped the Continental Army outmaneuver the British and ultimately secure American independence.

This may have been relevant in his time. However, if like myself you have used GFL technology to travel back in time, experienced the future timeline and then altered it, you technically outrank any number of spies on the planet.
Why would research mode still be needed, having experienced the future and then physically altered the timeline myself? That would be illogical, and this not out of speculation or rumour. It’s a fact. The New Pathway is an upgrade from the lower timeline, and I have advised many times where lower timeline is headed. If you don’t want to take my advice that’s fine, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. 👑
