Tomorrow, 6 March, is the 171st anniversary of the fall of the Alamo. Santa Anna announced that he was going to kill all of the defenders of the Alamo which he did, and later after the battle of Goliad executed prisoners after agreeing to honorable surrender terms. But, he didn't have the women, children, and slaves in the Alamo killed, and released them. Later when Texans agined independence by defeating and capturing Santa Anna at the battle of San Jacinto there were some women in the Mexican camp. One of them, described as being quite beautiful, was killed by a saber stroke. Only a few Texas officers had sabers. The Texas soldiers accused one of the officers of killing the woman, and had to be restrained from hanging him. The officer was dogged by suspicion that he had killed a woman for the rest of his life. Things are a lot different now. The Muslim terrorists go out of their way to kill women and children, and typically shoot from behind women and children so that they are killed in the crossfire. The Muslims are truly 7th century savages.
