My esteem for Rogers Rangers just took a nosedive.

Make that just Rogers, please, and not all RRs. Rogers Rangers were active during the F&I War when we fought alongside the British against the common enemy. When the Revolution broke out, many of the RRs joined the Colonials and fought with great effect. Rogers was said to have offered his services to Washington and when rebuffed, joined up with the Brits to form the Queens Rangers and then the Kings Rangers. So Rogers had that Benedict Arnold thing going on ... good service then betrayal. Yeah, he's on my chit list now.
