Giving that scarlet clad batch of mongrels the title "professional" is an affront to the language.

Seems to me a professional is someone who has learned a trade and is rewarded for practicing it. Hope the good old language is not too offended by my righteous use of this word. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

A pack of the refuse of the London gutters, led by self-indulgent 2nd sons who rely on Daddy's gold for promotion.

I accept "self-indulgent", but I am <b>no</b> second son! I am the firstborn, Sir! Also, I didn't need Daddy's gold - I have risen from the ranks! Once I was proud to call myself a Sergeant - ask Gen. Natta, I almost challenged him for a duel for calling me "Mr." <img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>

They fight for the King's Shilling, instead of their nation, they are as much mercenary as the hated Hessians your monarch hired in the Revolution.

You can rely on your brave volunteers from the backwoods - if you prefer to have them discuss instead of obey an order, and go home once the army is leaving their home county <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> Ask someone who has tried to contest the British possession of Queenston - your militia rabble just refuses to cross the border there! If you are going to found your empire of freedom with the help of such people, well, good luck! <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>
