Then your goal is not in sync with the spirit of the OP.

It appears you are correct in this goal. On the other hand, you have not balanced this in regards to the opposition.

What is your point here? You seem to be implying that these facets were unique to American forces. Indians never used such tactics, nor did the British? The Revolutionary War was different than the War of 1812? The Civil War? The Indian Wars? The Mexican War? From any war through history?
