5805, How we won the american revolution
Posted by Xpiritmental, Wed Mar-26-03 08:54 AM
we had a small army consisting mostly of civilians with guns. our armies had little to no training compared to enemy armies
we were fighting for what we considered our homeland
a big reason for our victory was that british supply lines were stretched so thin and it became to expensive for britain to continue fighting a war thousands of miles away from home
we broke "the rules of war" because we knew we stood no chance against them in traditional warfare style battles
the british had big victories early in the war
the support and training from another nation (france in our case) proved to be the deciding factor in the war
by all accounts, the british outnumbered us, had better training, better weaponry, better leadership, etc. they should have whooped american ass...
now compare to the way iraq is fighting this war...
