well here how is real
responsible for what happens he
would be he would receive
accolades worried too
terminated the rebellion in 1776
and the fact that he didn't
think he is in fact culpable now
there are very good reasons for
him doing what he does not doing
what he doesn't do is cut supply
issues of the first order he's
trying to raise an expeditionary
warfare of a sort that really
has not been waged probably
since the Romans and he's got to
bear in mind that the transport
of horses across the north
atlantic in stormy weather is
impossibly difficult the
transport of the forage cause
he's having trouble getting
forage in America for those
sources is very very difficult
the supply of his soldiers is
very much tied to the bases his
God on the American littoral
first in Boston and New York and
the farther he ventures away
from those supply dumps and
magazines the more difficult and
more exposed the years so his
rather language progress across
New Jersey i think is in part
explained by his supply concerns
is also a man who
constitutionally i think is
extraordinary optical to the
point ploy it's one job to jobs
jobs
sequentially he's not a great
captain I and so you know you
see him allow Washington to get
away Brooklyn where violation
possibility for the Americans
you see you know he's whittle
down that american forces to
3,000 men by the time they reach
the delaware and yeah that's
three thousand men that
obviously form the basis for an
extraordinary stroke by
Washington and so i think you
know you have to say okay I
understand what how is doing and
why he's doing it
and yet a boulder or more
creative or aggressive general
who was intent on exterminating
the revolution when he could
fails to do it
