What are some of the controversies pertaining to the military training by Baron Von Steuben?
a. Baron Von Steuben was not a baron
b. All BVS did was to stamp out individuality and transform the free soldiers performance into an automaton subject to the will of his ruler
c. Washington liked BVS's training because being an aristocrat of Virginia, he had no intention of winning a war as a guerrilla chieftan. To him the only path to glory was through regular European style fighting. Therefore, eventhough BVS was a big phony, Washington was all too pleased to have him Prussianizing the army
d. Washington's army was equally undistinguished in performance before and after BVS's training. The only time Washington scored big was his sneak attack on the Hessians at Trenton. The other victories of the Continental Army were the same: surprise attack at Ticonderoga by Arnold and Ellen; guerrilla warfare at Freeman Farm by Daniel Morgan; Sniping of General Fraser at Saratoga; Nathaniel Greene's guerrilla warfare buring out Lord Cornwallis in the South; John Paul Jones' raiding of the British at their turf
e. All of the above
