Happy Birthday!
232 years ago a group of insurgents rose up to cast off the shackles of an oppressive foreign power. Using asymmetric warfare techniques they forced an eventual withdraw of occupying and counter-insurgency troops from their land, despite being outnumbered and vastly out-gunned by their opposition.
They won their freedom from foreign tyranny and forged a new nation that still stands today.
Happy Birthday, America!
