good thing they weren't around in the 1700's.

British regulars were world class soldiers in our revolution, and their German mercenaries were very good to.

The fact that our Continentals could stand toe to toe with the best should be proudly remembered! Screw George III, but God save the Queen!

I'm always dubious of stories like these. There's never any context. Seems like straight propaganda.

Agreed. SAS couldn't call in an airstrike? Hope it's true but wouldn't be surprised if this was fake news.

Neither Martin nor Tavington were actual people. Rather, the characters were combinations of real people from the Revolutionary War.

Martin/Gibson was mostly based on Frances Marion. Badass mofo.

Good for the British. I applaud them. Remember some reporter doing a special report on tactics employed by the Americans and our allies in the war in Afghanistan. SOP for the French when running low on ammo, or pinned down by the enemy, hunker down and call for support. Not so the Americans, they counterattack.

Mostly that was the SOP for our soldiers until Barack Hussein Obama started implementing those ridiculous Rules of Engagement. We lost a lot of good men following that insanity. I suspect the first thing SOD Mad Dog Mattis did was suspend that b/s.

"I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: if you f*** with me, I'll kill you all." Gen.James "Mad Dog" Mattis (Now U.S. Secretary of Defense)

MAGA!

But yeah, keep getting your opinions from an idiot/loon who gets his "news" from Alex Jones and the History Channel.

"SHEOPLE!!!"

We should make that a fricking drinking game. That'd be about all he's good for.

Who are we talking about? TX? If so, you don't pay attention. That's cool.

But hey, fricking Maxim ran with the story, so it must be true. It definitely couldn't be that every one of them is using a singular source...

Great. Now all you have to do is provide anything whatsoever to back up your opinion.

Usually, if it's dubious or proven false, so many sites don't pick it up.

No, I don't need to do that. Same reason I don't need to provide you with proof that sea monsters and Air Force tornadoes are make-believe.
