Of course the Americans and their aboriginal allies were cowards. They hid behind trees and fired from cover instead of forming a square and fighting like men. It was a war of civilized people against barbarians. Or perhaps in modern lingo--asymmetrical warfare.

Cheers, Ken Hanly

P.S. Although didnt Rudyard Kipling write a poem praising the Fuzzy-Wuzzy for breaking the British Square?
