#422 [#3Fan] Military ships that travel close to land need arms. The Vikings had arms, Vietnam boats had arms, Spanish ships that came to the New World had arms.

#423 [#3Fan] All I can do is repeat that military ships that travel close to shore do indeed have arms. Vikings, Vietnam, and the Spaniards all had arms.

Could you post a picture of a Viking rifle or cannon please?

Could you please post a picture of a signed copy of the battle plan which called for the Powhatan to travel close enough to the Charleston Harbor shore batteries to shoot at them with muskets?

Armed Viking:

#3Fan: What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

Otter: Germans?

Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.

Where did I say cannon? I said arms.

The Star of the West was attacked. For such an attack close to land the men need arms. The argument is moot because you have not proven there was a signed armistice to begin with.

Link me to the signed armistice or admit you can't.
