Yes, if you are referring to the Continental Army, which "...had no money, and few soldiers. The Continental Congress raised eight companies of soldiers, each numbering 120 men. These companies were made up entirely of cripples, invalids, blind men, and men missing arms and legs. But, they were fighting on there own land, for their own land, and for freedom. And, they had a great leader. They got supplies by stealing them from the British. (Fort Ticonderoga) George Washington lamented that the Continental Army had 'very little discipline, order or government' at the beginning of the Revolutionary War. As the war progressed, his soldiers learned European military drill, and combined it with their determination and frontier know-how to defeat the redcoats, one of the world's best-trained and best-equipped armies." Is the DHS preparing to squash a Revolutionary War? It sure as hell sounds like it. IMO the power of the DHS is more frightening and a greater danger to our freedom than any threat an extremist group could pose to the president. My God, if any president was ever in danger of getting whacked, it is likely it would have been Bush than the popular president we now have, Obama. Bush is still standing and Obama will as well, and without the machinations and propaganda of the DHS scaring the shit out of us, causing us to be paranoid and mistrust our fellow citizens. Divide and conquer. It's an old trick, doncha know.
