Only part of our history they have is dealing with them through the Navy and marines, the way Jefferson dealt with them. And its not something they can take credit for.

Why they once were called “Leathernecks.”

But if you want to see politically correct censorship and revisionism, look at the Wiki explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leatherneck

They fail to mention who we fought in 1794 (Barbary Pirates): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_corsairs

They would strike the neck with their curved sword. Decapitation was common practice.

Yes, it was the Religion Of Peace, already back in 1794. After that, the Marines started issuing leather collars.

Wasn’t the Alamo built by the Spanish, as they conquered Mexico, and came up across the Rio Grande to spread CHRISTIANITY.

There was ZERO Mohammadean or Islamic influence. Other than to FIGHT them.

WTF?
