This is an excellent song and all the negative comments are a sad testimony as to what we have become. Bravery speaks for itself. Those who are critical often have not seen men die for what they believe in. Americans have often been outnumbered in battle, but they have prevailed because they believe in our great country.

@desertwst In A great country.. The U.S. has changed, my friend.. I'm for what the U.S. used to be.. not.. what it's become..

[Moreththerogue]

Arguments aside this is a great song, without hatred for for either side and wonderfully told. God Bless Marty Robbins.

over 50 pages of arguments about history and nearly all of it is common misconceptions, biased opinions and racism :(

@Mahaim13 you dont get it we fought for texas and it was our choice to join the u.s.

[Mahaim13]

@thisolcowboy21 you guys always talk about freedom, Texas gained independence only to loose that freedom by asking the US to annex them, where is that freedom that was fought for?

[thisolcowboy21]

@coolpopovic101 very well said.

Don't forget...many of the defenders of the Alamo were ethnic Mexicans. It was a mix of races, creeds, and colors fighting for their freedom (they even had a real Scottish bagpiper who liked to play along the catwalks in the evenings), and to be Texicans; they wanted to form the Republic of Texas (which they did, at least for a short time). Study the war, and the battle; there wasn't any racist garbage involved. It was a group of people wanting freedom from tyranny.

@kevin3350,

When Muslims forget the Quran and Hadeeth as much as most Christians forget the Bible, I'm quite tolerant of them. Until that day comes, Islam as defined in Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Pakistan is the enemy.
