He was merely trying to point out that during the revelutionary war the British insisted on fighting a conventional war, the only one that they knew how to fight, and refused to make the adjustments needed to fight the war to win it. That's all Buffer was trying to point out. I don't believe that he was saying that Minutemen and Freedom fighters during the revolutionary war were the same as the terrorists today.
Exactly what I meant. Well said, DC. I don't mean that the American soldiers during the Revolution were as harsh or inhuman as the current terrorists today. Of course these terrorists are much more destructive toward mankind. Like DC explained, my comparison was more toward how the British dealt unsuccessfully with the colonists and how we are dealing with the terrorists.
