re: Happy Birthday to the Republic of Texas

An old buddy of mine joined the Army after high school. While they were in basic they were being instructed on Treason and Traitors and Treachery and all that. My homie told some of his friends that if Texas ever seceded he would have to grab as much as he could carry, go AWOL, and return to Texas to join the rebel army. A few of those guys got real offended and ratted him to the sergeant. The sergeant told them that Texans had been this way since time began and that there was nothing the Army could do about it.
