@PortlandIsHell @jpandrews89 @Hoopss There’s nothing that can change the behavior of these types of people. It’s who they are, they look for any chance to scratch their destructive, violent itches

@ldh2386 @DjokovicFan_ @newRko11 20-7 on hard court in favor of Novak. 20-9 on clay in favor of Rafa. 2-2 on grass 5-4 in Slam Finals and 11-7 overall in slams both in favor of Rafa. Novak obviously has the better career overall, but I think Rafa is the best tennis player of all time at their peaks.

No American alive has ever lived in an America that spends its wealth on its own people, and when you imagine where we’d be if we did, that is perhaps the most radicalizing thought you could possibly have.

@Goldsworthdagga @StandupMoon4007 @BillTheKid1603 The average German 19 year old who was thrown into a conflict created by men he never met. Anyone who fights and dies for their country should garner a basic respect.

@Clint_Davey1 The fact that Undaunted Courage hasn’t already been a 10 part HBO miniseries will forever blow my mind. Would be absolutely insanely popular if done right

Echoes of War

246 years ago today, a 13 year old boy named Andrew Jackson watched his neighbors get hacked to death in a Carolina meeting house, and the future of American politics was decided in a single afternoon. Colonel Abraham Buford had spent the morning marching his 350 Virginians north through the Waxhaws, a Scots-Irish settlement straddling the Carolina border. He thought he had a day's head start on the British. He was wrong by about an hour. At 3 p.m. Tarleton's dragoons came out of the pine woods at a dead gallop. Buford formed a single line in an open field, ordered his men to hold fire until the cavalry was 10 yards away, and waited. It was the worst possible tactic against horsemen. The first volley emptied a few saddles. The second never came. The British line crashed through. Buford ran up a white flag. A British officer rode forward to accept the surrender. Then a musket cracked from somewhere in the American ranks. The shot killed Tarleton's horse, pinning him beneath it. His men thought their colonel was dead. What followed is what the Continental Congress later called, with careful understatement, "an event without parallel in this war." For 15 minutes the British Legion went down the American line with sabers and bayonets, killing wounded men where they lay. An American surgeon counted an average of 16 saber wounds per body. Some men were stabbed so many times the wounds ran together. 113 dead. 150 too badly cut up to move. 53 prisoners. British losses: 5 killed. The survivors were dragged to the Waxhaw Presbyterian Church, where the local women turned the pews into hospital beds. One of the nurses was Elizabeth Jackson. Her 13 year old son helped her wash the wounds. Andrew Jackson never forgot it. Forty years later, as President, he was still settling scores with the British Empire. "Tarleton's Quarter" became the most effective recruiting poster in American history. Four months later, those same Scots-Irish farmers would corner a Loyalist army on top of Kings Mountain and shoot them to pieces. They yelled "Remember Buford" the whole way up the slope. One afternoon in a hayfield lost Britain the South.
