Johnny Horton can kiss my ass

[HEyHEY]

"In may of 1941 the war had just begun"

Just heard the Bismark...

FUCK YOU JOHNNY! Maybe that's when the US got into...Canucks and Brits and Aussies were dying way before that.....

ANd It was the U.K. that sunk it...fuck you johnny

1. I despise songs that try to turn War into something Noble

War is about Humans being ripped apart by unyielding steel...

[HEyHEY]

2. I agree....but what make me more disgusted

Is when those who died are dishonoured.

However...in my opinion WW2 was a war...maybe the ONLY war that we had to fight in.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. He was such a racist, too

Still, the battle of new orleans, or whatever it's called, it's pretty good.

[HEyHEY]

6. Too bad he doesn't mention the battle of 1812

[HEyHEY]

8. Actually Canadians did it for him

"ANd we fired our guns and the yankees kept a coming there wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago...and we fired our guns and the yankees started running...they started running to the gulf of mexico....the ran through hills and they ran through the forrest they ran through the bushes where the beavers wouldn't go. They ran so fast they forgot to take their culture..back to amemerica and gulf and texico!"

18. "Where the beavers wouldn't go"?

It's "where the rabbits wouldn't go".

Beavers fearlessly go anywhere they please. You should know that.

4. Waitaminute-- the US didn't get involved in WWII until December 1941

...and he says "In MAY of 1941 the war had just begun"

So, in May of '41, the war had technically "just begun" 21 months before-- at least in Europe. The war in the Pacific began as early as 1931, if you go by the start of Japanese military aggression.

Sorry to nitpick, but history is history.

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. Maybe he meant "just" in the sense of geological time

but I doubt that's what he meant. :-)

[HEyHEY]

10. Hey, all I'm saying is the "war" began in 1938

[indigobusiness]

7. Now you've really gone too far.

This man gave us:

we filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind
and when we set the powder off the gator lost his mind

God, I loved that man.

9. I have no respect for a man who can't get historic dates right!

[Tom Kitten]

11. I 'm afraid I don't get it...

The Battle of New Orleans was in 1941? I'm confused by this....

[HEyHEY]

12. It's two different tunes

[Tom Kitten]

14. Oh Okay!

So he sang a song about the Bismarck fighting the Redcoats in May 1941, and then another song about the Battle of New Orleans against the same Redcoats in May 1841? When the war was actually long over?

I think I'm beginning to see things more clearly...Thanks :)

13. Lots of no respect going around.

Frankly, it's hard to stomach.

'North to Alaska' will live forever.

[HEyHEY]

15. Bah...the panhandel belongs to the Yukon!

[indigobusiness]

17. BC will belong to the US

once we're done with Iran.

[Tom Kitten]

16. I agree

I think I'll pop in my video of U-571 and watch how the Americans broke the German intelligence code in WW2...
