Because you continue to provoke offensively.
You're just hypersensitive.
Like blackie, anyone that supports his view.
John Keegan was the foremost military historian of his era. Oh yeah and he was British.
Oh I don't know if you really want to go there. As far as glorifying history and lionizing historical persons the US pretty much takes the cake. You won't find the mythologies around Sir John A McDonald that you do around Thomas Edison and George Washington. That's OK, though. The US does have a remarkable history. Canada's is boring in comparison. Like watching paint dry.
Oh but I will agree with you, there are many historical myths abound in every culture, I'm not sure why you might think I am not aware or not ready to admit to it. Correct if I am wrong but it was you that opened up that can of worms.
The War of 1812 was, like all conflicts, a complex affair with no easy answers.
Not really, it's pretty cut and dry, but I will admit to this, the British, the Americans and the Canadians are all in agreement about one thing, they all think they won.
It's main purpose, for Canadians, is to aggravate those credulous Americans who are unfortunate victims of an overly-nationalistic educaiton system.
If teaching that ridiculous tune is mandatory 3rd grade reading, I would suggest you look deep within yourself.
Personally I like English hisotry. Lots of blood and guts.
So, do I.
Um....yeah. You're either really reaching or really, really dense.
My bad for talking to you in the first place. See ya junior.
He's really dense my dear, why you even bother I have no idea. Can we get back to the maple syrup s'il vous plait?
No, he's right. "sons of liberty" (what a fu cking joke) has trolled Canadians for YEARS. It's what he does. Open your fu cking eyes.
You're hatred is misguided, it's evident it's Canada you despise.
