After punishing defeats, they took it to the enemy

"The year 1776, celebrated as the birth year of the nation, ... was for those who carried the fight for independence forward a year of all-too-few victories, of sustained suffering, disease, hunger, desertion, cowardice, disillusionment, defeat, terrible discouragement, and fear, as they would never forget, but also of phenomenal courage and bedrock devotion to country, and that, too, they would never forget." (1776, p. 294)
Rudy's right. Sounds reminiscent of urban ministry.
