Those bastards sank the USS Maine which brought us into WWI.
No they sank the Lusitania which brought us into WW1 and the USS Maine that is what caused the Spanish American War. When the British sank the Bismarck that caused America to get into the war too. The Americans were ticked that British sank the Bismarck.
I know you were being sarcastic so am I being about the Bismarck too.
