OT <<including our very, very good friends across the pond.>> Chuckle. Yesterday, NPR ran a brief interview with the spokesman for a British Regiment that is now serving in Iraq that also was involved (with different soldiers, I presume) in the battle of Yorktown, the key battle in the Revolutionary War (1781--that war). When the questioner asked about Washington's (or Lafayette--I don't recall) agreement to release Cornwallis' troops with colors flying after their capture, the spokesman sniffed, "they weren't captured". The spokesman then went on to compare that war with the war taking place in Iraq today--bands of revolutionaries taking part in hit and run actions, gueriila style, using the sympathies of the local population to plan and conceal their strikes. Still touchy about this after all these years. Happy Independence Day. quid
