One of my family's legends is that one of my ancestors in fact led his horse across the Delaware to break up the ice in advance of Washington crossing in a boat. I don't know how true the story is but it's a story we like to tell.

Your ancestor was the equivalent of every Indiana Jones Native/Guide that died to traps ahead of the group.

Washington's troops only killed 22 people when they crossed the Delaware and attacked the Hessians. Captured nearly 900 though.

also I think they actually attacked during the morning hours. eg most of them were probably awake already perhaps eating breakfast and/or hungover.

That should read," We will row across an ice clogged river in the middle of the night just to kill you in your sleep on Christmas".

washington was known as town destroyer by the mohawks. he will do more than just kill you, he'll go hulk on your entire fucking regiment and then say something badass like: Merry Christmas, your present is a can of pre-opened whoopass.

If your army is still asleep at 900 am because only half of Washington's forces made it across and they were hours behind schedule then you kind of bring it on yourself.

Who gives a shit. If I was a general I would do what I had to, to win. Like Genghis Khan. If you are not ready to be ruthless then why the fuck be in the business of killing people. It is war not baseball.

China: You save us from speaking Japanese---we'll attack you on Christmas 6 years later.

Edited for modernism: China: You build our economy and bring our people out of poverty---we'll take your fucking job 10 years later.

forgive me reddit, maybe vending smartassery online will make it less annoying to my peers. .... The communist part of china and the U.S. were pretty much enemies as soon as WW2 ended - so no real backstabbing - but the way you word is great anyway :) edit allmighty wiki link

Small notes:

  1. The victorious allies after defeating Japan (which occupied Korea) divided Korea without consulting the Koreans. The USSR got the North and the US got the South. Both North and South Korea were ruled by dictators backed by each foreign power. The Northern dictator decided to try to reunify Korea. Stalin told Kim Number 1 to ask China. Communist China didn't forget the North Koreans who helped them defeat the Chinese nationalist forces, and got their back.

  2. China didn't "take" jobs from Americans, American companies happily gave the jobs to the Chinese. Why should China show sympathy to American workers when Americans don't show any sympathy for each other? Also, America didn't open up China out of benevolence, they wanted to counter Soviet influence in Asia and create a market for American goods. To secure this relationship, the US helped out Pakistan, China's ally, who subsequently used American weapons, money and diplomatic cover to murder almost a million of their own people.

Ragging on China seems kind of silly when taken in context.

Interesting, thanks for the link. It is easy to forget what a tough war that was, after watching a thousand episodes of MAS*H.

[–]banuday 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Another interesting side note, the television series MAS*H actually went on longer than the actual war.

[–]apgtimbough 1 point2 points ago

Interesting since the war isn't over, technically.

But I understand your point lol
