I don't recall George Washington murdering uninvolved civilians in order to terrorize them or to turn them against the British (who did murder civilians as examples, much as the Nazis did years later). Contemporary American usage, for at least a hundred years, defines "crusade" (Quoting Websters New 20th Century Dictionary) as: "To support or oppose ANY cause with zeal". (emphasis added) If that is "disturbing" then you have certainly been guilty of disturbing behavior recently. BTW, lest you denounce me as being provincial, I do know the British spelling of terrorize and behavior. I also know that, in part of the world, the term redneck refers to someone from the British Isles.

Interesting. They tell it differently, of course! :-) > Except for the Force Recon and >sniper units. So the Black Watch is just another unit in the British army? >Anyone can be assigned to the unit after completing basic training? Normally, the Black Watch (42nd Highland Regiment) recruits directly from the area around their headquarters in Perth, Scotland. While they are certainly regarded by many as the premier fighting unit of the Scottish Highland Regiments, themselves the holders of more battle honours per unit than any other part of the British army (the legendary Thin Red Line at Balaclava was the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders), they are indeed regular infantrymen. -- Stewart Pinkerton | Music is Art - Audio is Engineering |

Hello Brian and Stewart,
Allow me to say that you two are more alike than you say or think you aren't... You've both executed your patriotic duties by serving your countries, and your are both passionate about what/how you feel. Although I disagree more with what Stewart has said but you both have my respect and have, certainly, earned the "right" to speak your minds about this and similar topics. Interesting, too, your perspectives on history, old and new. Just a reminder that besides the spoils, to the victor, the customized updated history books. The troll's original message did it's job, eh?

Indeed yes, a lesson learned very well by Stalin! However, good libraries and/or the InterNet allow us to discover what really happened in any given era, with relative ease. Apart from who really killed JFK, of course............... -- Stewart Pinkerton | Music is Art - Audio is Engineering |
