I wonder if we could, today in this country of 310 MILLION people, find 189 men who would be willing to fight a doomed battle like that

To get some idea, rephrase that question, ask how many gun owners will give up their firearms when the boots come knocking.

Did you both Crockett and Santa Ana were Freemasons?

Oh and the Alamo building has a key stone over the door carved with the symbol “Ave Maria” - a Templar sign.

I watched the “Texas Rising” miniseries last year-it wasn’t half bad on the historical accuracy, despite the usual tendency of historical drama made here to sensationalize and romanticize everything about battles, brutalities and especially real or alleged love affairs-I think the Brits are the best at historically accurate productions-not as prone as we are to be sensational-but then most of their productions involve historical events and people in centuries earlier than the 19th too-more wiggle room there...

We had four in Benghazi.
