crazy-hard aginst the british that were trying to increese the taxs. Their
name sounds like a superforce for a reason-- they were one! The military
back in that time were like proud warriers not like now where they all hide
like crybabies in barricks and drop radiocontrolled missels on people from a
hundred million years away. They had guns that were loaded by hand and
they ran out there and shot the crap out of everybody and if they got shot,
they died not like now where if soldiers get shot they wear bulletproof vests
and so they live.
The soldiers that were part of the minutemen started from a
massachusets colony some menn were selected from the general ranks of
townbased training to be ready for fast deployment. They were usually
around 25 years old or younger and got together 4 times a year of training
and things like that. Training was to consist of handtohand combat, musket
loading, musketfiring, and stabbing.
Back then the soldier faught without questioning authority unlike now
where everytime a general barks out orders the soldier has to be against
him and trying to figure out a better way. The first minutemen team was
stared by catptin John Parker of the
lexington
militia and in 1775.
