they call it "day in reverence of when an overwhelming number of us got our asses kicked by a small group of underarmed and poorly trained farmers"
First of all, for all you people actually answering the question seriously, it was a joke. Secondly, they didn't get their asses handed to them, we barely won the war and only did win because the French came and helped us out. Secondly, don't be so arrogant, please. Thirdly it's only a joke, while not funny, no reason to get mad at him. Sheesh.
casually rates were high for the british and if you dont consider death or serious injury equivalent to getting your ass handed to you then I don't know what is...
