The prevalence of racism, illiteracy and the incredible amount of mindless inarticulate profanity in current popular culture is a direct result of "progressive" education promoted by heavily funded Soviet agents during the Cold War. Perhaps the US "won" the Cold War, but he Communists won too. American culture is decimated. Illiteracy, addiction, war profiteers, Keynsian Bankers and abortion profiteers control our lives.

It is said that the americans fought to the last man at the alamo which is what the americans claimed but it is well known that the mexican army had a "take no prisoners" approach which is the cause for controversy to this day in mexico's war against drugs. I believe these men did not fight to the last man but surrendered and were executed to the last man which is more in line with how the mexican army conducted itself during that era.
