To: Do not dub me shapka broham
Good point.

Thank goodness there were no Dan Rathers, Walter Kronkites or like-minded journalists back in 1775.

We'd still be subject to the British crown, if that were the case.

Many 18th century soldiers went into battle drunk, to boost their nerve. Yes, its a poor idea with today's technology, but it's worth noting.

Probably the best film ever directed by the late Stanley Kubrick.
