George Washington was the only sitting US president to take command of an army in the field. The context: he was trying to collect taxes in western Pennsylvania. Gotta take care of the important stuff. It's also interesting how after speculators bought up Revolutionary war debt for pennies on the dollar the US government suddenly decided to pay the debts in full. The yeomen who paid for the war got screwed by the money men, as usual. Funny too is how most of the 'framers of the Constitution' were merchants and bankers rather than the people who put their lives on the line to sign the Declaration of Independence.
