“I would hope you are right but this happened very SLOWLY in our revolution. “
It never really did gain momentum until the Winter of 1976 with the crossing of the Delaware. Even then it never received full equipment and funding. There are two lessons in that.
1. You don’t need to be a fully equipped, well funded, army to defeat a superior enemy.
2. Don’t expect to be a fully equipped, well funded, army.
However, we the people maintain more guns, more ammo, more food, more medical, more of everything than the military has especially on a per solider basis.
1976? ;-)
