Actually, Washington was not the only sitting president to lead troops against citizens. Lincoln actually went into the field and led one mission during the civil war. Washington was certainly justified in feeling disadvantaged by a weak central government. He repeatedly asked for aid the government did not send. It wasn't until the congress gave him full authority in the field that he was able to see the backs of those red coats. As for middle class millionaires, sad but true. It's become obvious that by now, some animals are more equal than others.
