Thank you, they are very informative videos.
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

Washington thought riflemen to be insubordinate troublemakers and he was probably right but there was some value to them for reducing the number of British officers and cannon crews.    Riflemen excelled  in petite guerre on the frontiers and psyops were undertaken to make British troops  afraid of them.
