Oh honey, people today think colonial militias were a bunch of rugged heroes fighting for freedom. But let me tell you, most of those militias were just a ragtag group of untrained farmers and tradesmen trying not to shoot themselves in the foot. Sure, they had some wins, but let's not pretend they were all George Washingtons out there.

Many people today think of the Militia as a small company of men from a particular Connecticut village who would occasionally muster on the common or green and practice the military drill of the day.
