Irrelevant. Led a badass amphibious landing at Vera Cruz, the first of its kind in American history. It was like D-Day except instead of French Villages the troops saw donkey shows and panhandlers.Smitty-48 wrote: Thu Apr 04, 2019 12:20 pmIgnominiously defeated by the Canadians at Queenston Heightsheydaralon wrote: Thu Apr 04, 2019 12:17 pm I am reading right now about Winfield Scott.

He was new at the job at that point. I'll bet your first day of work was a lot different than your last one.Smitty-48 wrote: Thu Apr 04, 2019 12:24 pmWhupped by untrained Canadian farmers.heydaralon wrote: Thu Apr 04, 2019 12:22 pmIrrelevant.
