234 years, Officially Patriot loss, but, devastated the English troops. Don't think that red uniform will look good on my blue America, hehehe. 
Rather like the Battle of Bunker (Breeds) Hill. If the Redcoats had won one more battle like that one there wouldn't have been any Redcoats left.
There is an old story about a US Marine general being invited to a dining in at the headquarters of the regiment that finally took the hill. A British officer takes him on a tour of the regiments many trophies and points out the banner they took at the battle. He says "You'll notice that we still have the colors," to which the US Marine remarks "Yes, but we still have the hill."
Typical Jarhead 
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
