Obama has three million plus who are ready to take marching orders to fulfill absolutely any request he makes. He would have millions more ready to follow them. If the conservative talk shows put the birth certificate into their daily mix, those three million plus will be called upon to make phone calls, organize protests, write letters, intimidate electoral college members, and stand at the doors of SCOTUS and Congress, ready to scream bloody murder and threaten total destruction. The MSM would adjudicate this whole issue and justice would have no chance to prevail. It is probably best we let sleeping dogs lie. This may well be a blessing in disguise.
About 250,000 men served as regulars or as militiamen for the Revolutionary cause in the eight years of the war, but there were never more than 90,000 total men under arms at one time.
Armies were small by European standards of the era; the greatest number of men that Washington personally commanded in the field at any one time was fewer than 17,000. This could be attributed to tactical preferences, but it also could be because of lack of powder on the American side.[4]
*snip*
Early in 1775, the British Army consisted of about 36,000 men worldwide, but wartime recruitment steadily increased this number.
Additionally, over the course of the war the British hired about 30,000 soldiers from German princes; these professional soldiers were generically called "Hessians" because many came from Hesse-Kassel.
*snip* Germans made up about one-third of the British troop strength in North America.
By 1779, the number of British and German troops stationed in North America was over 60,000, although these were spread from Canada to Florida.[10] About 10,000 Loyalist Americans under arms for the British are included in these figures.[11]"
Interesting point.
I'm with you, Faith.
Exactly.
