1 This is supremely hilarious. This guy is trying to diddle these idiots by putting, among others, Jesse Ventura in as one of the names of the Founders. It doesn't faze 'em a bit.
It would have been fun to be there and respond with "Well, yeah, since history began when I was born, and I remember Jesse, then I suppose he was one of the founders." (Snicker)

2 Wasn't Baron Von Raschke the guy who trained Washington's army?  Surely Harley Race was a Southern planter and Patriot! 

You could have a lot of fun with these people!

3 There was a Baron (the title may have been assumed) von Steuben who whipped the army into pretty good Teutonic shape, so the guy must have known his stuff. It certainly helped.

4 I know Dana; i was trying to write like a Millenial.

Baron Von Rashke was a pro wrestler from the '70's, as was Harley Race.  Von Steuben convinced Washington he was a high military commander but was only a captain, and nobody would take him in Europe because he was a pedophile. But Washington had no knowledge of that and Von Steuben was terrific at transferring modern military techniques to the rustics who made up the Continental Army.
