Thread Name: Who Would Jesus Deport?
Subject: RE: Who Would Jesus Deport?
Arguing the relative merits of a war that took place over 160 years ago is an exercise in futility. This was long before the innate superiority of the Anglo-Saxon Race became to be assumed, and contemporary military tacticians were not at all certain that a US victory was assured. After all, Mexico had a larger professional army and had fought a victorious war against another military power (Spain) much more recently than had the US.
