97 Year Old Scam Uncovered

Well, the marines were certainly at "the halls of Montezuma (the Mexican Military Academy) However it was the 4th Artillery that took the rifles from those marines and took the building!
The marines back then were not the marines of later wars!

That is because most of the Marines were dead or wounded. Those Mexican boys put up one hell of a fight. Those boys died with their boots on and deserve our respect.

At least one of them wrapped a Mexican flag around himself and jumped from the walls. Heroic, to be sure, but not a very effective combat action.

Thanks for your historical research, Marine A5 Sniper - there is enough real bravery out there that we don't need the fabricated kind - even for recruiting!

It just goes to show, there is nothing new under the Sun - or in human behavior! We are the same creatures we always were. Time goes by, and technology changes - but Love, Lust, Greed, Hate, Envy, etc, etc, go on through the ages. (And embellishing one's stories...... ) MP
