The correct answer is C) he believed a commander should not profit from war.

George Washington refused to take a salary for being commander in chief because he believed a commander should not profit from war. He wanted to serve the country.

He also refused to accept a salary as a President of the United States. He was a man that had properties and land, so he really did not need the money. He wanted to really serve his country and focused on doing that. Later he accepted it, but he was already rich. Historians say that Washington got very rich doing business with selling and buying land
