I'm not super familiar with his military record but I assume it was good enough. As president, meh IMO.
And that's the story with most of the founders. That and guys like Jefferson, who were impressive -- but my god what a sick fuck. He is like fucking near-relatives generation after generation and runs a massive slave operation. Honestly, we should call him Lord Jefferson.
Don't get me started on that fugly ass pervert Ben. Franklin. I think he's been given enough undue credit to last all of history.
I guess Adams was ok...I mean for a self-absorb careerist WASP that failed as a parent. Probably even worse than Franklin. They both were horrible fathers that didn't follow their own advice.
And that's a snapshot of what I view these men at any given time.

those dudes were woke as hell and probably smarter than the average person today; the global IQ average since then has fallen and in the west its dropped 14 points since the victorian era.
