Old NFO – No argument here. I still think Manhattan should be surrounded a la Escape from New York.

Randal – I don’t think there were many greasers in the Revolution. Well, maybe John Hancock . . .

FD – I don’t think they’d want it. Maybe we can throw in New Jersey as well. Heh.

Marvin – In just 1776 alone, the Howes could have won the war numerous times, but exercises in “restraint” doomed them. Maybe they were Dems?

Admiral – Thanks. The story of the colonial army retreating across the East River at night is a brilliant one.

Howe could have won the war if he decided on a military solution instead of opting for a political one. Sounds like we have some Howes around today.

Trying to win a war politically, is just as wrong as trying to win an election militarily. Everything has its time and place, but few can seem to master when to use one and not the other.
