I think Andrew Jackson would be a good pick. First off, he was a Major General. Commander of the armed forces of the Battle of New Orleans. Secondly, he's ruthless. Trail of Tears, etc.
Third, he's tough. He was the first American President who people tried to assassinate. I mean he beat the shit out of a guy who tried to kill him with his cane. That guy's two guns intended to shoot Jackson misfired. Yeah, both of them. Also, Jackson lived half of his life with a bullet lodged between his ribs, what a badass.
Oh, and he won 13 duels, including one against Charles Dickinson [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Dickinson_%28historical_figure%29].
Yeah, that's right. He beat a duelist who had 26 confirmed kills in duels. Not just wins, KILLS.
Damn you don't wanna mess with him.
