If George Washington were a General in today’s Army, he would be fired for being a discriminatory hater (Washington had men punished for homosexual sodomy). Washington’s overt Christianity would also be taboo.

You do realize that Geo. Washington’s views were not just his alone. That was the mindset of everyone back then. Washington was not overtly Christian, he drank, cussed up a storm, it has been wriiten. “When Gen. Washington cussed at Gen Lee at Monmouth, the very air would catch fire”...“You damned poltroon,” Washington rejoined, “you never tried them!” Always reluctant to resort to profanities, the chaste Washington cursed at Lee “till the leaves shook on the tree,” recalled General [Charles] Scott. “Charming! Delightful! Never have I enjoyed such swearing before or since.” Lafayette said it was the only time he ever heard Washington swear. “I confess I was disconcerted, astonished, and confounded by the words and the manner in which His Excellency accosted me,” Lee recalled.
