Would that have stopped Mexicans from winning the battle? What if they had another 100 well equipped soldiers? What if they would have had 3 larger cannons from the Civil War era?
What would have been the minimum amount of help they would have needed to successfully repel the Mexicans from storming the Alamo that morning?
Has anyone else ever thought about this or is this my first clue that maybe I should go get some professional psychiatric help?
I'm gonna go with the latter.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
