I like how in that movie Gibson's militia fight the war in the way that gives them the best chance to win instead of the way their enemies consider "honorable" or "fair".
Well, that's how things worked after Greene replaced Gates.
Greene basically fought to deny the Carolinas to Cornwallis, in a long series of indecisive battles where the Continentals would strike and then withdraw once the British regrouped and started hitting back.

There's a lesson in there somewhere...
That everything goes and that the ends justify the means?
