I take it that none of your ancestors were part of that war?
Nope, but another José (from California) put up a heroic defence of Alta against the invading US army:
José Antonio Ezequiel Carrillo (17961862)
Battle of Dominguez Rancho, 9 October 1846. José Antonio Carrillo, near Los Angeles, leads Californio forces against 350 marines and sailors who retreated.

Y'all real good at declaring wars, butt, hard to imagine taking your advice on how to win a war.
You're right. That's mostly because the American People do not have the stomach for actually FIGHTING a war anymore. The do not have the guts to look at images like Dresden, Germany; Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan; and the trenches of WWI's Western Front where men literally kicked, punched, and bit each other to death in the trenches. The American citizenry does not have the stomach to see that anymore. They put on their satin panties every morning and sing Kum Bi Ya each evening. It sickens and disgusts me what this nation has become in the last half century.
HOW TO WIN THE WAR ON DRUGS.
And illegal immigration as a bonus.
We have been waging a war on drugs for the past 50 years and given billions to Mexico to fight drug cartels and the problem has escalated. Murders or the border in Mexico, crime and lives lost here due to drugs dealing and using. We cannot quarantine all drug addicts in rehab and put all drug dealers in jail. But we can close the border and stop the flow of drugs into here and stop the flow of drug money going out to further finance drug cartels. If they cannot get their drug across the border they cannot get any money crossing back in and their business will go broke and they will take their business and crime elsewhere.
Put the military on the border and we solve the drug problem and at the same time stop illegal immigration. Solve the problem of 20 million illegal aliens in this country by closing businesses that hire illegal aliens. If they cannot work they will leave and they will not come.
We solve most of our economic problem by just by closing the border. We can close the border temporary declaring a state of emergency because of drugs and illegal immigration.
But this has about a chance as a snowball in hell of even being considered because our leaders are afraid of offending Mexico and offending and losing Hispanics votes and Mexico. Until we find those people who are not afraid to put America first, we continue as usually. Drugs and illegal aliens will continue as usual. We cannot sustain the status quo and survive as the greatest nation in the world.

We should recalssify marijuana to the same category as alcohol on the federal level, and thus let the states fight a drug war of they wish or tax it when grown by Americn farmers.
Instead of war ON drugs I question why the war isn't ABOUT drugs. :-(
As for the images we Americans watch instead of actually 'warring' is perhaps a method of training that has proven itself in many more effective ways than the 'fast and furious' brute for9e of 'yesteryear'.
Hollywood in itself may not have 'the edge' but coupled with a few other effective measures and our children could become well-equipped enough to be an adequite opposition for most ANY war that is currently foreseeable, as well for a few not so forseeable.
Sometimes I read the most rediculous things from supposedly the most intelligent individuals, I am almost proud to boast being 'uneducated'.

Is that anything like Michelle Obama feeling good about being American for the first time in her life and being proud of it.
If we are ever going to win the "War on Drugs" then we should treat it as a war and use our military to bomb the drug cartels and their drug factories.

As long as there are millions of people who are willing to pay for something which they have no moral inhibitions about it will be made available. The only effect closing the border will have is to raise the price in proportion with the level of interdiction and impose an enormous cost for securing a 2,000 mile border. And because there will be such enormous profit involved in smuggling across the border don't be naive enough to believe there won't be a lot of bribery.HOW TO WIN THE WAR ON DRUGS.
