Well, that is one way to respond when you get corrected for thinking that they were American citizens and confusing the U.S.Army in war, with law enforcement in a still unexplained operation in a Texas city during the recent Clinton administration.

Ansel, was or was not the U.S. Army present and cooperating at Mt. Carmel? Whose tanks were those, anyway? I'll grant it was an ATF show, but what was the 1st Cav doing there?

And, yes, I saw the note you copied from Wikipedia -- wherein Wounded Knee was described as "the last battle of the American Indian Wars".

But those wars were over! These were reservation Indians. Wounded Knee wasn't a war-time skirmish. It was a peace-time massacre. Just like Mount Carmel.

And, in both cases, the massacres were directed by the federal government against innocent men, women and children -- be they Lakota Sioux or Branch Davidians.

If you've an objection to the comparison, so be it.

It sounds like you just enjoy your feelings on the matter, and need to use the language and false information to jazz it up more for the rush.
