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? |
One guy in this thread made a statement that the American forces and Washington would never have been considered terrorists and that Washington never issued orders to his forces directing them to use terror tactics... he was wrong. That is all I was pointing out. It was a tangent in the thread that somebody started and I addressed that, as happens so frequently in threads at DP, tangents occur, and it is in line with the OP:
The Road to American Independence.
All good, I made my point and that is all I was interested in doing.
To address your points, that are also tangents... the Native Americans and the British were certainly guilty of the same type of warfare, or crimes. But again, that was not what I was addressing.
