#2 It bothers Mexicans? Is that why it's often rendered in the original Greek? Ancient Greek: μολὼν λαβέ, romanized: molṑn labé

#6 What about the "Tex-Mex" units at the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto? Don't they get any respect?

It is important to remember that when Santa Ana took over Mexico, 9 provinces rose in rebellion. He defeated 8 of them. Texes was originally planning to unite with Nuevo Leon and form a new country. Unfortunately the forces of Nuevo Leon were defeated before they could join the Texans.

Anti Mexican indeed.

#10 It's not about the words. It's about the action - the act of surrendering. All will be made to take a knee. All.
