In June of 1775 the Continental Congress created a unified Army out of the Revolutionary Forces encamped around Boston and New York, and named after the great George Washington, commander in chief. The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware and seized victory from Cornwallis at Yorktown. Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over airports, it did everything it had to do and at Ft. McHenry under the rocket’s red glare had nothing but victory. When dawn came, the star-spangled banner waved defiant.

美国独立战争时期的大陆军没有以乔治・华盛顿命名（named after the great George Washington）。大陆军时代还没有发明飞机，所以控制天空，攻破防御，控制机场（manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over airports）是无稽之谈。麦克亨利堡（Ft. McHenry）的著名战斗发生在第二次美英战争也就是1812年战争中，与独立战争无关。

没想到川普的本国历史知识如此差劲，当然也就无法驳斥反对者“数典忘祖”了。
