Duuring,
Help from Dutch forces? I freaking laughed at that crap so hard... yeah bro, Dutch won the Revolutionary war in America... are u freaking insane? The brunt of land fighting was carried by the colonists who were Americans. Granted, France provided monetary help and sent military advisers, some of whom directly participated in the war, nevertheless, crediting France with being the sole reason for Americans triumphing is pure lunacy. I hear this ignorant notion over and over again:" Oh, Napoleon would have won if it wasn't for the winter", "Oh, Hitler would have won if it wasn't for land-lease", and now this nonsense about France winning the Revolutionary war... they helped, but the war was fought on the battlefields by American soldiers, nobody else... besides, Brits had plenty of money and soldiers and if they had the will to fight they would have come out victorious with or without France being in the mix. The truth is- Brits gave up at the end, and Continental Army simply outlasted them because of their unbreakable resolve to be free of tyranny.
Now whether Continental Army was bad at some point... this is irrelevant because they defeated their opponent in the end, needless to say that the opponent was considered superior in every aspect.
Calling G.Washington, the founding father of The United States of America, greatest president in my nation's history, one of the most influential leaders the world has ever seen and brilliant military tactician an idiot is not only a blatant showcase of disrespect towards any American but also a clear sign that you are either an infantile internet troll or just know nothing about subject matter.
Jocam,
Actually IDEAS win wars and military might helps... I can give you numerous examples, or as you put it "enlighten" you if u desire... do u want me to make u look like a fool?
