[jasonmraznum1fan]

that poor gater

[Bestmanme08]

There is a guy playing Andrew Jackson in this video. The guy doing so is naturally not actor Charlton Heston but Heston did in fact play Old Hickory in two movies! The making of these movies can be found in fine Heston bios like Charlton Heston: An Incredible Life: Revised Edition (at amazon).

[Fitzliputzli23]

Oh, that's ol' Johnny Horton, right?

[Halogrunt69]

Our History Teacher is making me look up this song, and make a whole Video of everything we learned this year, and I NEED THIS IN MP3 TT^TT DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND IT!?

[hajishack79]

If you have Itunes or Zune, its Johnny Horton.

[hahachucky]

Try limewire, nig.

[Anna1755]

I'm on a Johnny Horton kick.  Irresistible!!!

[killspreepro]

and yet you guys lost the war. good song though.

[jkkrusha123]

what the hell? america won the war

[killspreepro]

your goal was to take canada. last i checked canada is still on its own.

[DetonateMedia]

The British started it. They told us we couldn't trade with France. Last time I checked, we're still trading with France.

[killspreepro]

do you even know what war this is talking about

[DetonateMedia]

1812, smart one.

[killspreepro]

ya and you guys lost it.you guys advanced on us, and we fought you back to washington DC. it was the first war you guys ever lost.

[DetonateMedia]

No one actually "won" it because a treaty was signed. But America did win this battle.

[killspreepro]

i was talking about the war not the battle. but canada still kicked ass lol

[DetonateMedia]

The War of 1812 was called the war that nobody won.

[killspreepro]

u guys called it that because you dont wanna admit that you lost

[DetonateMedia]

Wow, you Brit's are stubborn.

[killspreepro]

im Canadian

[will0ughby]

hey dumb ass, you all wernt even a country, you were still England bitch

[fakechicken]

they're still controlled by the Queen anyhow

[killspreepro]

we were called british north america. some provences were called Canada at the time.

[hahachucky]

"i'm canadian"

AKA "I'm gay"

[killspreepro]

usualy if you call someone gay. that usualy means he is trying to hide his sexuality.

[hahachucky]

The war of 1812?

DURR HURR

[killspreepro]

the PRIMARY onjective of the U.S. was to "TAKE" Canada. they ddnt.

Our objective was to "PREVENT" the U.S. from "TAKING" Canada, and we did that.

no evidence indicates we were trying to take the U.S..

New Orleans was a great victory, but it ddnt end up in the U.S. meeting its goal.

all u got was respect. thats it.

[LoboApache15]

all true but the British came down burned DC and attacked, New orleans. Sure best defence is a good offence, but they did try to reclaim America

[killspreepro]

there is no evidence that says the british and Canadians were trying to reclaim the U.S.

[LoboApache15]

think about though. we were one of the only ones to defeat the britts , who were a world super power, and then they have a chance to retake us..wouldn't you want to get rid of that shame

[killspreepro]

they had the chance but they ddnt take it.

it wouldve been a waste of time, money, and troops. besides now brition is a great ally for the U of S

[ScouserLegend]

lol "we were on of the only ones to defeat the britts", it wasn't just you fighting them in the first place France and Spain were also fighting against Great Britain

[686204]

Yep and North Vietnam took care of you guys! A shame you will never get rid of old boy. Besides that the war of 1812 was a draw both sides agreed to end it.

[tranurse]

we had a lot of help though. the french, some germans and some spanish helped us the first time.

[optomoclif]

@tranurse nope at new orleans it was my ancestors shooting ky long rifles that demoralized the finest army of the time.

[tranurse]

@optomoclif yeah, it was jean lafitte with his pirates, freed blacks, and jackson's army that got it done that day.

[hahachucky]

Last time I checked, you just failed hard.

[killspreepro]

least we know about honour and what it means to fight.

you guys may be strong soldiers, but you're men know nothing about honour, or good decisions.

[hahachucky]

who needs honor when we can kick your ass without it?

[killspreepro]

you can, but then your mainly fighting for fun. its not supposed to be fun.

"the Rich start wars, but it is the poor who die"

Gen. George s patton knew about honour. same with Gen. Macarther.

without honour, there is no meaning to fighting.

[randommagnum]

Now wait a minute... Douglas MacArthur? George S. Patton? I thought you just said that Americans know nothing about honor.

[killspreepro]

they retreated from the field when things were grim.

you dont retreat. their is no honour in retreat. when you take ground; you have to hold it or die. advance or die.

"We dont give ground, we dont lose an obgective, and we dont give up a single gun" that is what it is.

victory or death. fight or die.

the only time i see americans fighting to the death is on their own land. fighting for their home and dying on their lawn.

[randommagnum]

Okay, so first you say "Gen. George s patton knew about honour. same with Gen. Macarther." Then you say "they retreated from the field when things were grim....their is no honour in retreat."

Were Patton and MacArthur honorable or not? Make up your mind.

[killspreepro]

sorry my dumbass friend was on my pc.

if you can find proof that Canada and Brition were trying to take the U.S. then i will declare a draw and probly delete my youtube account.

[killspreepro]

what i ment ro say was that americans today dont know about honour. past americans knew about it. today they think its just kick ass and have fun.

thats not war. thats games.

[randommagnum]

You don't even know any Americans if you think that. You may have met some, but you don't really KNOW any.

You're just a bigot, with an obsessive hatred of all things American, and you probably don't even know for sure why. It's obvious: look at how much time you spend spreading hate speech against America.

There sure seems to be a lot of bigotry and xenophobia in Europe and throughout the British Commonwealth these days. You are proof of that.

[killspreepro]

who the fuck said i was making a hate speech. i dont hate the United States. i like the U of S. im talking about honour not hatred. you just think that about peaple you never met. if i hated the U.S then i wouldnt have Gen Gearge S Patton as my Idle.

[ScienceGir1]

THIS IS AN AWESOME VIDEO!!!

[pds3939]

American nationalism! We need more of it now! I'm proud of our history!  God bless Johnny Horton who was a true American!

[lpr24]
