I don't think that she'll be "embarassed" (sic), Stephen Bach, or even
embarrassed. Your grasp of the English language is as patchy as your
criminal past.

Not so much, the British lost because of their tactics, failure to use
the most powerful navy in the world.

George F. Scheer's "Rebels and Redcoats" documents this excellently as
well as the Parliamentary and King George's shortcomings.

So they were like the Americans in Vietnam or Iraq.

And, alas, their navy tried to be present at Yorktown and the French
fleet chased them off. The French represented some 75% of the total
fighting force at Yorktown, land, sea and air. Well not so much in the
air!

It was a question of a lack of brains. In what way did they
have their hands tied behind their backs?

In Iraq Rumsfeld, the cold war warrior, gave the military all
he thought they needed. The "back stabbing" Democrats had
no power to do anything, even now.

"The Rules of Engagement" are now guided by "escalation of force".
