What's your opinion on how George Washington crossed the river on Christmas Eve to slaughter a bunch of drunk british?
My opinion on that is that it didn't happen.
Washington crossed the Delaware to attack a bunch of drunken Germans, Hessian mercenaries loyal to the crown. Supposedly these guys were hard as nails, real badasses- but the attack was so unexpected, so sudden and so well executed that they were defeated with less than like 20 total dead on both sides. Most of them just surrendered, too drunk/cold to put up any meaningful resistance against an organized assault.
