If my command structure fell apart, as the ANA's did, it would be pointless to keep fighting openly.  I'd have to take off the uniform and decide if I wanted to try to live a quiet life under enemy rule, or run to another country, or attempt disorganized/guerilla warfare against the enemy.  No idea what I would choose

What you fail to realize is that the AFA didn't have any sort of "command structure" other than our troops.

Regarding the part in bold, that is a very cowardly thought process.  I am so glad that the founders of our country never had this mindset.

You should broaden your understanding of the Revolutionary war.  Guerrilla tactics were absolutely used and uniforms were not always worn. 
When I say I would have to think about what I'd choose, I'm being very general.  In the specific circumstances the founders faced, where the King would appoint new governors without consulting the people, and those governors wouldn't let local assemblies and legislatures meet, I would have fought.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
