Okay, damn! That's an incredible story, I cant believe I never heard about it
Quoting: Light of my Little Left Eye Agreed. All the Drunk History clips are worth the watch. It really is amazing to look back on people not as historic figures, but as real people. I mean..who knew a flamboyant homosexual was directly responsible for us winning the Revolutionary War? It really is..funny. George Washington's army was trained and won the war, due to a man that wasn't just homosexual. He was 'flaming'...if you will. He was kicked out of Prussia and France for it. The Army used his tactics for 100 years. Called, The Blue Book. After 230 years, the 'Blue Book' still guides NCOs [ link to www.army.mil (secure)] Pretty funny. Drunk History FTW.  There really is nothing like, credit..where credit is due.. Blue BookDuring the early American Revolutionary War, there was very little standardization or guidance for the duties and responsibilities of the noncommissioned officer. The Continental Army lacked strong central command and was made up of state-run militias operating independently of each other. Each militia operated by its own rules and regulations.
In 1777, a Prussian officer named Friedrich Von Steuben volunteered to help. General Von Steuben's influence almost instantly helped to establish the identity of the U.S. Army.
Von Steuben volunteered his military experience through Benjamin Franklin, who wrote a letter of recommendation to George Washington. In 1778, Von Steuben met Washington for the first time at the winter camp in Valley Forge, Penn. Washington was instantly impressed with Von Steuben's military bearing and forceful personality.
By mid-March 1779, Von Steuben personally started training a 100-man guard company in the basics of soldiering. This unit still exists and is known today as The President's 100 [ link to www.army.mil (secure)] [ link to youtu.be (secure)] That's easy..sanitation.
