I'm still not sure what he's trying to prove.
Its quite simple really.
If Britain was they greatest military power then how did a greater military powers defeat them?
If the armed citizenry was such a threat how did they achieve nothing without the
support of a global superpower(yes Alex that covers Saratoga too)?
Since the myth about the armed citizens was thoroughly destroyed within a few years of independance why the hell are people still trying to sell the myth centuries later?

I think with the geography comment Tribesman was saying he isn't British...
Hold on Grizz , Eire is in the country of Europy which is above the nation of Africy so they are right on the geography
