I suppose...Although if you were one of those Patriots who died a slow and miserable death on the British prison ships in New York harbor it was pretty horrible...or if you were a Tory supporter of King George driven out of your home in the middle of winter and looking at thousand mile march to Canada...was equally horrible.
Yes, in general both British and American regular armies were gentlemen in conduct and fought most of their battles outside cities to keep civilian deaths to a minimum.
That would be easy enough for anyone to see, just by looking at all the other "lucky" war-torn third-world cesspools that darken the daily news.
Here in the USA, we have not had "war-torn" for the past 145 years. It's a foreign concept. It could never happen here. We're too civilized. We don't do things that way.[/sarcasm]
To the contrary, here in the USA, when it starts it will get world-class ugly in record time, for several different reasons.
The tools of war are available to just about everyone (that's a good thing).
People here are not accustomed to being hungry, dirty, tired, cold, wet, scared, etc. -- when all these experiences hit home, and linger day after day, there's going to be a few hundred million very angry people ready to kill anyone and everyone.
Reason # 1: Over half of the US population know that this whole unnecessary catastrophe is being manufactured by the commie Dems, commie RINOs, and commie media. Guess who they are going to be looking for.
My take as well!
I’ve predicted civil war since 1970 when as a young soldier at Arlington Hall Station in Arlington, Virginia I got a bird’s eye view of the Communist led anti-Vietnam War demonstrations and as a member of the Army Security Agency got to read classified reports about the goals of their leadership which was to overthrow the Republic.
Today those Viet Cong flag waving maggot infested long hair dope smoking commies wear suits and constitute the executive and legislative branches of the federal government. In their twisted minds they have already won - just a little mopping up to do. However, they are faced with a determined opponent who wants to destroy them. They will resist and think that the military and police forces will do the dirty work.
And this mistake by our commie traitors will start a very bloody civil war made worse by modern technology in the hands of the most ruthless revolutionists on the face of the earth - American Patriots.
I feel sorry for them. I really do! As a former American soldier I know that when the shooting starts and the bombs begin to fall there will be no quarter asked...or given.
