speaking of under equipped... could you imagine going to war with a single shot muzzle loader? *shudders*
although, think of all the money you'd save on ammunition..
Well, when there isn't full auto's, UAV's, or computer-guided satellite-assisted artillery, it wouldn't be as bad. Of course, the poor medical care, gangrene, starvation, unsuitable uniforms for the weather, inadequate rations, and minimalistic navy (especially when all of these things are compared to the opposition), didn't help.
Of course...one can't ignore the the contributions of formal military training and discipline in turning that "well regulated militia" into a military who's training and moral strength would allow them to stand in the face of the worlds most disciplined army at the time.
