American - A person who entertains the world with their lack of world history knowledge, their own history knowledge, and indoctrinated myths

Oh, I'm happy to put my historical knowledge up against your's any time.

 

[westwall]

Americans living abroad all have similar views and stories. Go check them out on YouTube, there's loads.

Yeah, they are simps, for the most part.

Or soy boi's if you wish.

Stood in your classrooms preaching. Then the military do it with a bugle. It's in all the Hollywood films, your source of knowledge.

The U.S. Navy continued to struggle with scurvy into the 19th century even though the Royal Navy cracked the mystery of the disease in the 18th century thanks to surgeon James Lind. The British began storing citrus fruits on board all of its ships. The British Navy gave its sailors limes or lemon juice rations to ward off scurvy – earning them the nickname of "Limeys" among the American sailors who didn't know about or believe in the preventative treatment.

The Navy’s Fight against Scurvy

Few diseases have been more synonymous with sailors than scurvy. From the dawn of time scurvy has been described as the “Black Death of the sea,” and was once even as deadly as smallpox. Yet years after the British Royal Navy successfully demonstrated the treatment and prevention of this...

“I had an opportunity of trying the efficacy of the simple expressed juice of limes, which was liberally allowed on my indent, by commodore Decatur, in eight or nine cases of sea-scurvy, which occurred on board of the frigate United States,” recalled Barton. “Two of these cases were very bad ones. I had the satisfaction to find that I easily checked the disorder by an early and liberal administration of lime-juice, undiluted, three or four times a day, and in the form of lemonade, for drink, at all times.”

Your own sailors sucked on lemons and limes too you thick moron

I have no idea what you are trying to say. Try the King's English sometime. Oh, wait! That's what you were trying and failing at!

Yes, but you earned the nickname, and it sticks!

Neither. It was to avoid having a standing army by promoting a militia

Funny, then, how Congress was specifically,. and previously, given the power to raise a standing army.

 

[M14 Shooter]

And you can’t back your own made up claims.

Tell us why you would choose to allow yourself, your wife, and/or your kids to be shot, rather than you run the risk of shooting a bystander while protecting them.

 

[Picaro]

And as for his wife, both a shining example of the average American!!

Don't worry, it's not aimed at your fellow countrymen, they too know you're a dickhead.

Struggling for comebacks now that he's lost his cred.

How big was that standing army?

Tell us what we need police for, if self appointed, self righteous gun nuts are going around “protecting” people?

 

[M14 Shooter]

Irrelevant to the fact I negated your claim.

You think by removing these facts from the context of their time represents a legitimate point.

Yes, both the Continental Congress and Congress had the authority to raise a standing army, they did not have the resources to pay for it. As George Washington could attest.

And since the thirteen states functioned as a union of disjointed individual government which distrusted a strong federal government, they didn’t want the new United States to have a large standing army.

Thus, the Second Amendment recognized the right of individuals to own weapons in order to arm state militias.

This reassured the foes of federalism, and it was a handy way for a very poor country to raise troops if needed.

The United States did not maintain a large standing army until 1940.

Nope . Size matters

Your claim:

No mention of size.

You were proven wrong, and now you're feebly trying to move the goalpost.
Admit it, take the L and move on.

Pardon me dickhead.

I should have said “large” standing army

The army in 1800 was about 4,000 men. A regiment to protect against Indian raids in the west and a component to protect the West Point armory.

My point stands

To arrest those who commit crimes. But remember this, the police have ZERO obligation to defend you.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Pardon me dickhead.

Awww.
Puddum upset she was proven wrong... again.
Awww.
You should be used to it by now.

How big was that standing army?

Big enough to defeat an Invasion by an Empire in 1814 ( with assistance from State Militias regional Militias and Pirates / Slaves …

Yes, you took a fact out of context so you could weave a false claim out of it.
