That's why Arab countries always get their asses kicked when up against Western-oriented/trained opponents.
Happy 4th of July

Obviously these rebels were well trained. Would love to see that video.

These two may have some vision/hearing problems if they maintained this position upon firing. Idiots

That's cool, no that's hot. Would probably burn my house down if I tried that.

Not long after Yorktown, when Britain took a break from warring with us, an American visited with an upper class English family, distant relatives.
They had one of the new indoor privys, loos, whatever.
There was a portrait of George Washington on the wall opposite the seat of repose.
"How did you like our new private room, cousin?" snicker
"It was very nice."
"And the portrait?" she covers her mouth
"Excellent. George has been making you English $*** for many years."

As we enjoy our 4th of July, let's dive into some history to get you in the spirit. The Continental Congress actually voted to declare independence on July 2nd, 1776. John Adams even thought that July 2nd would be the date everyone would celebrate! However, it was on July 4th, 1776, that the Declaration of Independence was officially adopted, and that’s why we have our celebrations on the 4th
Speaking of legendary moments and men, let’s talk about George Washington, who was practically invincible. During the French and Indian War, he had several close calls where he was shot at multiple times, but no one could hit him! At the Battle of Monongahela, Washington had two horses shot out from under him and four bullet holes in his coat, yet he emerged completely unscathed. His survival through countless battles and skirmishes became legendary, boosting the morale of his troops. It’s as if he had some kind of superhuman luck or a cloak of invulnerability.
Washington's near-invincibility wasn’t just a fluke. During the Revolutionary War, his luck and leadership continued to amaze. At the Battle of Long Island in 1776, he successfully led a retreat under the cover of night and fog, preserving his army against overwhelming odds. In the Battle of Princeton in 1777, Washington rode out in front of his troops, exposing himself to enemy fire to direct them forward. One of Washington’s own generals, John Fitzgerald, literally put his hat over his eyes as Washington yelled “FIRE” while in the middle of both lines of battle, thinking Washington had surely met his end. But when the smoke cleared, there he was, still on his horse, waving his men along.
His resilience at Valley Forge, bravery at the Battle of Monmouth, and strategic brilliance during the Siege of Yorktown further solidified his near-mythical status. These examples of Washington's apparent invincibility and remarkable leadership played a crucial role in maintaining the morale and cohesion of the Continental Army throughout the war.
However, it wasn’t all fireworks and celebrations back then. The Founding Fathers made significant sacrifices to lay the foundation for the freedoms we enjoy today. So, while you're enjoying the holiday by lighting up the grill, watching fireworks, or spending quality time with family and friends, remember the spirit of independence and the hard-won freedoms we cherish. It's a time to reflect, celebrate, and of course, have a great time!
Hope you all had a Great 4th!
