250 YEARS AGO: The snag in this promotion: Morgan is on parole! He was just released by the Redcoats on the promise he won't fight again unless an officer of equal rank is released to the Royal Army. So Morgan is going to his home in Virginia to check on his family -- and wait for a parole exchange.

Getting too old. Just hearing the Redcoats strike it up and a full student section yelling the fight song can make me emotional.

I’m gonna be a terrible nerd and point out that song was originally a battle song. That’s why ringmasters wear red coats too, because they were literal British redcoats. I’m an amateur circus historian 🎪 🤓

We are in the stupidest of times. British redcoats at the WH for a communist dictator? I'm not going into the rest!

We often frame our discussions about the Revolutionary War as a plucky, upstart Continental Army up-ending the imperial, professional, heavily favored British Army. We talk about the redcoats and their conventional volleys-in-straight-lines fighting style, versus the colonials...

I was wondering that myself. Is this a rewritten history where *we* are the redcoats?

250 YEARS AGO: Virginia rifleman Daniel Morgan returns to Elizabethtown, N.J., after almost nine months captive to the Royal Army. While captive, the Redcoats flattered Morgan and offered him the rank of colonel in their army, but he refused to switch sides and be known as a "scoundrel."

The parking lot Rose Garden patio is being tromped on by redcoats? Weren't those the bad guys? And why are communist Chinese flags being displayed at the top of the White House? This is the most messed up display of idiocy I've ever seen.

What the fucking hell is wrong with the Fourth Estate in this country? FREEDOM of press is a “privilege and right” and that’s why it’s the first enumerated right in the Bill of Rights.
Time to bury the guns in the backyard. The Redcoats and tyranny is here, now.

I heard this clip in the car today...He said, "Send me to go fight the Redcoats," then "the communists," then "the Islamists"
Somehow he skipped right over fighting "the Confederates" and "the fascists"
I wonder why

Pete Hegseth kicks off his ‘Send Me Tour,’ which is named after a Bible verse from the book of Isaiah. Hegseth's words of inspiration to cadets in Texas: "Send me to go fight the communists. Send me to go fight the Islamists."
