Watch the live now from fox on YouTube, no stupid narration, just the PA guy and audio from the parade
I love Hegseth’s points and fist pumps
I think you’re reading too much into it, they’re just marching with straight faces

The tankers and drivers are doing all the waving
Damn Melania looks good, so does Lara
As I mentioned, just the early stages of the war could be a great thriller without being a full on war movie.

Go back and forth between the colonists and their anger towards the crown with the bills they passed vs the picture in England and how they were getting fed up with these “rebels” who dared defy them.

The skirmishes in Lexington and Concord were because Colonists were stashing up arms and cannons in secrecy, the British caught wind of it, Gage wanted to send out a company in the dead of night to go seize them. The Colonists had spies, hence Revere and Dawes heading out to warn them and to warn Hancock and Adams.

The British get to Lexington, a little skirmish breaks out, then they head to Concord when a little bit larger skirmish breaks out. During this time, minutemen across the area are forming in mass across the region. The militia beat them back at Concord, they’re all like “holy shite, we just did that, they’re retreating, I guess it’s on men.”

By the end of the morning there were about 4,000 minutemen in the area. The British were smoked until Percy showed up to save them with another thousand men and 2 cannons.

Regardless, they harass the British all the way back to Boston using Indian tactics of hiding behind walls and trees to pop out and shoot. It pissed off the British so badly they began looting and shooting civilians. It was essentially the “Mogadishu Mile” for the Brits. They were dog tired and exhausted getting shot at all day. We chased them all the way back and began the siege of Boston.

That in itself could be a great film. Build up the tension, the “shot heard round the world” is fired. Colonists leaders are like wow, so it begins, then it ends with like a “here we go, we’re doing this” type ending.

The majority of “battles” were more like skirmishes, but man the drama is there and the tension that built up to them.

shite ima write a script and send it to A24, maybe they’ll have the balls to make it
Sons of bitches eat all my damn finch bird seed in half a day, lazy arse dog won’t chase them away.

I buy a tiny feeder, I buy seed marketed for finches, but the bastards still bout tip the feeder over and gorge themselves on it. I’ve had enough!

What’s the trick?

All under the umbrella of divine providence my friend.

There’s a reason no nation then, nor now, has gained its freedom from an empire as large as Britain was at the time. It takes a little help.

:rotflmao:

Yall are some sensitive bleeders when it comes to anything Alabama. I’ve seen over a dozen of these videos where some yahoo tricks a coach into taking a selfie then says their rivals “saying”, all of the coaches just laugh and move on like “ya got me!”

Only the inferiority complex of a Cajun when it comes to Alabama would come back and try to give some damn lecture about respect. Grow up O you pussy

The current annoying incarnation started with Tom Brady and that shitty commercial he was in. It went from a common phrase that’s been around forever to a cringe point of emphasis at the end of random sentences.. it’s very similar to what Bama fans started doing about 15 years ago when they started adding roll tide to the end of everything.. Just pumped gas.. roll tide or just fricked my fat wife.. roll tide


Love the melt sprinkled into this post

But seriously, what else are we supposed to say? Only things I can think of in the same situation are

Come on!!!

Pour it on!!
Fight!!

I mean, being perfectly honest, it just wasn’t a very cinematic war. More people died in prison barges than on the battlefield.


I wholeheartedly disagree with that. You had the underdog scenario obviously. Militiamen, that fought like Indians against overwhelming odds with the British Regulars. The British didn’t know how to respond on their retreat back to Boston. The militia kept hiding behind trees and walls taking potshots, it infuriated them that they wouldn’t line up and fight like Europeans.

It was the first revolution of a colony that ever threw off the yoke of its “owner” in the history of mankind.

Farmers, tanners, ferrymen, ironworkers, woodsmen, preachers, farriers, all came together and beat the most powerful empire in the history of the world.

There are thousands of stories to tell. The highest percentage of Americans died in that rebellion than any war America has ever seen. Granted the population was small but still. It was divine providence that we won. There’s a million interesting, riveting stories to tell involving espionage and courage against overwhelming odds.

When the minutemen beat back the regulars at Concord they were absolutely shocked that they’d won and had retreating Regulars in front of them running away, they were amazed. They didn’t know what to do.

There’s a Band of Brothers, Pacific. Masters of the Air type miniseries just begging to be told from 1775-1783

I know about Turn, but they could go so much bigger and deeper than that
I’m reading Rick Atkinson’s “The British Are Coming” and I’m only through the battles of Lexington and Concord. But man there is so much drama and intrigue just in that single day of fighting. It’s so good.

Paul Revere and William Dawes riding to warn Sam Adams and John Hancock, the militia assembling in the thousands from the countryside, the British burning and shooting up houses, General Percy saving them and the British retreat back to Boston.

Why the hell do we not have more stories shown on film or miniseries?


Bunker Hill
Grabbing the cannons from Fort Ticonderoga
Crossing of the Delaware
Valley Forge
Trenton

Hollywood is so stupid. Follow the blueprint of The Patriot, but a big name actor and a good secondary actor in it, get a good writer and it’s gold.

But no, they force Ironheart down our throat
