For someone who has the commander rank in his name you do not understand leadership at all. It is not about having someone do the fighting its have a leader to say now all together lets do this and in this manner. Was lincoln just supposed to not call men to arms and move troops and fire leaders who were incompetent? Was washington supposed to just let the civilians of the colonies rise up on their own? How about napolean, was he supposed to just let france tear itself apart? Leaders are needed otherwise there is chaos. 3% of men in the colonies created america so quit this "muh popular uprising" bs. There is no lack of courage there is lack of leadership because the one person who we sloted for the role knowing this was it stopped and benched himself at the one yard line.

You fail to consider 2 things:

  1. In their era they didn't have the technology we do, a revolution in their era is far different from one today.

  2. Foreign actors are persistently trying to spark this revolution in the hopes that we fight one another to the death.

You're stuck playing simple games with a simple mentality when the proper solution is to solve many compounding issues individually. We don't have to cross the finish line and we can pack up and go home, that's foolishness. If only it were that easy.

Read up on what happened in the years/months prior to the Constitution being drafted. If you look hard enough you'll notice we have not yet done something the Colonists did to the British. Before an ultimatum comes a proper resolution, it's a process, not a spontaneous event.
