Yep, they don't make "canteens" like that anymore. Actually George Washington said that he didn't like the way civilians (militia) fought. It was his adherence to gorilla warfare with help from professional mercenaries. Thousands of those poor 16 year old British boys simply had their throat cut or were shot by snipers. And then there's that part about the French fleet showing up just in time to prevent them from escaping (to return yet again even stronger). A lot more than just patriotic rhetoric compliance went into wining the war.
