the minutemen in the revoluationary war

 
The minutemen were this group in the revolutionary war that fought

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.
