Colonel in a British Army, but never given a royal commission, which meant that
he could have been, you know, there's a line in the movie where a a British officer says, You could be a general and I wouldn't have to listen to you.
And so there was this i incredible lack of fairness that he was never able to accomplish on merits alone.
And that
feeling of the American idea.
To me, America is just simply an idea that you ca if you can get yourself here, you can do anything.
And there's not that it's not you're not your bloodline, you're not your class, you know.
this is the land of opportunity.
You see in Washington that if he was just truly let into these circles and not put down because he was a colonial, I don't know that there is an America today.
But yes, he became colonel
uh just before necessity, not Royal Commission, but certainly it was major first, then a colonel, because he volunteered for things he had no idea how to do.
And he failed miserably at first trying to do them, but learned.
And he learned this new style of warfare of uh harass and outlast the enemy that he would end up using against the British.
So again, I just think it's a great lesson that sometimes when you're going through incredibly difficult seasons,
in life.
Sometimes when you're failing, you're just learning how to win incrementally if you'll just keep
Going and not give up.
Yeah, and the idea that he just felt the French would face them in this field in honor.
That's proper generous.
The French are like, we're gonna hide in the woods and just pick you guys off.
