Forget The Alamo ???

Here is a puff piece in support of a new book which reinterprets the history of the Alamo and the Republic of Texas:

I wrote about the Alamo in Chapter Two of my book No More Patriots. Here is part of what I said:

The defense of the Alamo, like the Battle of Thermopylae, is one of history’s most memorable examples of heroic asymmetric warfare. As the words of Travis’ famous letter bear witness, the defenders knew they were doomed. But they also knew they had to stand and fight to the death so that Texas could live. To make such a sacrifice requires an unshakeable faith that others will continue the fight that you have started. Without such faith, the Battle of the Alamo might never have taken place and the Texas War of Independence might have been lost.

In today's world, however, criticism of all things patriotic has increased to the point where now almost everything American is hated (or at least "worthy" of being hated). This does not bode well for our future.

Ask yourself what the US will become once the woke crowd finishes destroying it. I doubt most of you will like whatever replaces it. If the wokesters succeed in extinguishing the faith exhibited by the defenders of the Alamo, who ever again will fight for the United States or for freedom in general?

We must NOT forget the Alamo, and we must NOT distort its history to fit the tenor of the times.
