“All we have to do is “Remember the Alamo” and we good. Kick ass.”
Except... Texas’ ass got kicked at The Alamo. Mexico won.
And like Jochim Peiper at the Battle of the Bulge, that’s not the point. Two hundred and fifty seven defenders at the Alamo killed 400 to 600 Mexicans and wounded 200 to 300. Santa Anna paid for that delay and expenditure of men at San Jacinto. The Texans won the day at the Alamo by holding Santa Anna at San Antonio while Houston got his act together. There are a lot of stories about the Alamo. The liberal versions and the American patriot and Texan versions. The end result is all that matters. The idiot should have passed the Alamo by. Santa Anna’s “army” lasted 18 minutes at San Jacinto.
