In early elementary school we learned about the Revolution. "Well regulated" was explained as uniformly supplied so all soldiers had interchangeable equipment. First two rows were generally well armed, third row often had only farm tools, but would pick up front row weapons as they fell. All too often, the hand made rifles were different calibers so the plan didn't work, where the Regulars all had the exact same stuff.

We learned about the first ten amendments and why. We also learned that Revere, Dawes and Sam Prescott didn't shout The British are coming! The colonists were British themselves.

They shouted, The Regulars are coming! The Regulated Army marches to Concord!

Granted, most of the teachers knew George Washington, but that's how far we've fallen.
