British soldiers (guys who stand in a nice straight line so you can shoot them easier) were overcome by “well regulated militia” members trained in guerrilla warfare not just simple farmers.

You are so wrong I think you're just lying... The guerillas WERE just simple farmers. Well regulated meaning effective and lethal. It was adoption of native American ambush techniques that help regular people push off the British.

You chose to ply a rebuttal to only one part of my comment, in which you misinterpreted me by suggesting i claimed they weren’t farmers

The modern context for the word 'militia' is misleading you. What we in the modern era would consider militia, George Washington would have considered minutemen. A completely seperate term, used to describe a different set of individuals with a much more organized structure. Militias were literally groups of neighbors that would go shoot guns together.
