In what universe is any politician in Congress today comparable to George Washington?

George Washington was a military veteran.

George Washington left the military and went home to manage his plantation and other properties. He didn’t parlay his military pedigree into a political career where he’d live at the expense of the U.S. taxpayers and/or sell himself out to business interests while serving in government.
