Not at all.... There was no USA until the war was won. And the the link that the gent sent earlier spoke of militia and not a US Army specifically... and infact the armies came from the States.....not a central govt.....

Maybe you should go do a bit of reading on the matter and stop believing every propaganda thing the Army puts out. Ignorance and gullibility is quite embarrassing in case you didn't know.

"...every propaganda thing the Army puts out. "

I tend not to think of "US Army" and "propaganda" in the same context, but if you do then we will not be able to have any kind of satisfying dialogue.

If our Army wants to date their origin from 1775, when a general officer was sent from one colony to another colony to defend our interests against the motherland, then I am cool with their dateline.

So history is now propaganda?

Funny, but there are numerous sources on this subject that all pretty much say this:

“On June 14, 1775, the Second Continental Congress decided to proceed with the establishment of a Continental Army for purposes of common defense, adopting the forces already in place outside Boston as the first units of the army. On June 15, the Congress elected, by unanimous vote, George Washington as commander-in-chief. Washington accepted the position without any compensation, except reimbursement of his expenses.”

But I guess that this is just “Army propaganda”?
