Spot on. In fact, a Virginia regiment led by Lt. Col. Washington fired the first shots of the French & Indian War by ambushing a French Canadian scouting party in Pennsylvania.George Washington never held a commision in the regular british army. He held a commision in the Virginia militia which was looked down upon by the brits. In fact, he actively sought a royal commision in the british army for himself and the Virginia regiment but it was denied.
