Interesting link, but it appears that 50 odd members of the battalion, at three separate locations, did indeed dance the Tyburn Jig.
I think that less than half were hanged, IIRC. The relevancy, though, isn’t the hanging, but the treachery and the religious/belief connection. Bergdahl and his family are pro-Taliban for reasons of common belief. The St. Patrick’s Battalion deserted to the enemy because of their shared beliefs.
We’re in a war of ideas. On the one hand with radical Islam and the Left, both of which share a fatalistic nihilism and elitism over all things human, and Burkean conservatives, like myself and you, I presume, who don’t fear progress, but want to build it on the foundation of the best proven traditions of human history.
The Left, along with the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, et al, are interested in tearing all that down and rebuilding the world in their image and likeness. They are anti-Christ, anti-individual liberty and dignity, and they are the enemy. That we let them own our children’s minds for the formative 12-16 years of their lives is the worst failing in the history of Western Civilization.
