They taught me in elementary school (this was America in the fifties) that the Americans hid behind trees and mowed down the redcoats marching toward them in orderly ranks. That the word of the day was, “Don’t shoot until you see the whites of their eyes!”

And this was in a public school. Doubt they teach it today.

By the way, I whiled away many an hour drawing and designing guns in those days. In school. Was never bothered. Never reprimanded. Never suspended. I was spanked on occasion, though, for meatier offenses.

I remember getting the same teaching in my school, and you know, that was in Canada!!!!!

I doubt they teach anything about US history now.

Liberal education.LOL.

Thomas Paine wrote stuff that KOS would find very upsetting if one inserted Obama's name in place of King George.
