Second, if the locals want freedom they may just have to go earn it themselves instead of depending on others to do it for them.

Good thing Lafayette didn't think that way.

We weren't hiding in caves and crying about "civilian" collateral damage when someone did provide us aid. We were out fighting and dying for our cause and were the first to do so.

It annoys me greatly that some people expect their freedom as a right and then hide in their houses and complain that 0.01% of them are being hurt/killed while we try to kill their slave masters among them. They expect their freedom for free. They are the front line the war should start with them.

The French didn't do it for us. They did it with us.
