Of note: many of the military tactics and discipline we see today are the result of America's early Inspector General, during the Revolutionary war. He is credited with revolutionalizing military training, tactics, even the design of encampments, to avoid disease. He didn't speak English, but taught the American army how to use their bayonets for more than just a food skewer. Developed a trainging regiment that would train the rest f our army. Who knows, we might owe our freedom to this guy.
