"I thought it wise to pray to ASHING, though I do not know that god..."
The Apotheosis of Washington, by Brumidi. It depicts Washington joining the Roman pantheon.

Why's he half in uniform and half in toga? It baffles the mind.

It makes him look like he's wearing a skirt. Add that to the lapels (I think) which almost look like cleavage... He straight looks like a woman.

Given that it's the Greek pantheon he joined, would it be too far-fetched to claim that he is a divine magical hermaphrodite?

The new Emperor Charles II, the imperial family, the Imperial Life Guard, and the Knights of the Golden Fleece escort the body of Otto I, late emperor of Austria-Hungary.

I also think it's interesting that Washington's depicted in uniform rather than contemporary civilian attire. Says something about the capacity in which the artist wanted him remembered.

Well, their courses might skimp a bit on the human rights curriculum, but it can't be any worse than the School of the Americas, amirite?
