Bill I know what I am but you think yourself knowledgeable. What is the role of the USA Military other than aggression and dominion. Madison attacked the British Empire on land and sea because he wanted peace? No! He wanted a piece of this and a piece that there and a piece of that here. The USA and the Brits did their best to savage our peaceful Kingdom and with John Jay and the East India Company Canada and her parliaments were betrayed. Francis Scott Key was a wealthy Slave owner and the second stanza of the Star bangled spanner is about the chattel status of the lower classes and inferior races. The only casualties at Fort McHenry were those too sotted to take cover when they heard the the cannons fired.. Sound travels faster than cannon balls especially when they travel from water up to the battlements. Canada's army after WWII were peacekeepers America's Armies were always invaders. I grew up less than an hour from Plattsburg's airforce base and on Friday nights the Air Force members were always looking for a fight. The officers had their own clubs and stayed away from their savages. Here are Three Dead Trolls and a Baggie singing our version of the the war of 1812.

Liberal means free as in libre and you prefer blinders and shackles and pretend freedom another word for nothing left to lose.. The War of 1812 and you are still A1 crybabies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVC677-YmfM
