Agreed.

It’s comparable to the Greek Battle of Thermopylae some 2500 years ago where the samll band of Spartans and other Greek soldiers held off thousands and thousands of Persian invaders.

Still a fan of the original. I remember my 8th Grade history teacher telling us the story of the Spartan mother who told her son, “come back with your shield, or on it.”

Nope - haven't seen it - I have read Gates of Fire, and I'm hoping that that gets made into a movie.

Yup - and this is my favorite scene: http://www.moviesonline.ca/TheFeed/index.php?id=300-laydownyourweapons

By the way, if the descendants of Santa Anna and his soldiers try their invasion again, they’ll face lots of proud Texans armed with AR-15s, M1As, Garands, Remington 700s and a belt-fed or 2 (or 50). Probably why they won’t do it openly.
