Military aspects

After reading these three books, I learned that the militaries of the American Revolution were not very effective.  I always had the impression that the famous General Washington and other cammonders were strategic and coy in their schemeing.  The armies were so run down and in such poor health it is amazing that they could partake in the battles let alone survive them.

I still find it astonishing that after all of our militaries hardships and loses we some how managed to prevail!
