Through effective intelligence gathering, Patriot colonials had received word weeks before the expedition that their supplies might be at risk and had moved most of them to other locations.

I have extensive knowledge of the American revolution. I know the British were there to take their weapons supplies. That doesn't mean it has anything to do with what is going on now, or has even 1 iota of validity as a comparison.
