Before Mel Gibson's fall from Grace, he made "The Patriot" which is a fine movie about the kind of war that was fought in America back then. It wasn't what the Europeans were used to.

The Indians were not nice people. But we learned to adopt their ways -- much to their regret.

I thought about the Patriot and the fact that it touched on that type of brutal hand to hand warfare that went on. One or two shots from a musket and then the fighting fell to clubs, knives, and hatchets.
