Wow, 4 posts to little ole me. I should honored that a guy who flunked the "Groom of the Stool" selection course because he ate the goods would even write me.

And BTW, how many French, Dutch and Spanish were at New Orleans when we sent hardened British "Highlanders" running away with their tail between their legs?

A Song For You

1—No idea what you are gibbering about re Groom of the Stool. Honestly, none, it dosent even make any sense to me.

2—New Orleans. From the war of 1812, which nobody won. That would be the battle where the British lost, then turned around, captured Fort Bowyer, marched on Mobile and won several small battles. Well done, you won one major battle. As the British had done in that war on land and sea. As the Americans had also done. New Orleans didn’t win America the war of 1812, it wasn’t even the last battle on land. Never understood why you hype it up so much, you actually had better victories in that war.

3—Those Highlanders/Scots are some of the toughest and best soldiers in history. If we want to talk about running away with tails between your legs, lets talk the miserable American defeat when you tried (for a second time) and failed (for a second time) to conquer Canada in 1813.

Guess which troops were at the front of the British and Canadian troops that sent your army running for the border with ITS tails between their legs...

4—Ah, Johnny Horton. Crap song then and crap song now.

If you think America ‘bailed’ Britain out of two world wars and the Cold War, then I almost pity your ignorance. Sadly millions of Americans seem to share this ludicrous idea.

I could make fun of the many times American soldiers have been humiliated, but that would be a cheap tactic. I wont lower myself to the level of attacking other countries soldiers.
