Re: Bhawks #23219
In my humble opinion, Washington zappin' the Redcoats with an F-16 was a vulgar display of overkill. The fight was clearly over by the time the Old George and the RAF* aka Revolutionary Air Force made it's appearance and it is claimed by some that the RAF was only there to steal the glory from very deserving grunts such as Light Horse Harry Lee, father of Robert E. Lee, and The Gamecock aka Thomas Sumter.

Instead of whackin' the Brits further, it seems to me that those planes could have been put to better use by being stored and then later issued to Commodore Matthew Perry in 1853 to aid him in opening up Japan. As impressed as the Japanese were with Perry and his frigate, just think of how much more impressed they would have been if Perry would also have been accompanied by a squadron of F-16's. In fact, I believe they would have been impressed to the point that they would have probably left Pearl Harbor alone in 1941.

* The British seethed for years over that whuppin' and finally hopped all over us again in 1812. Although that war ended in a draw, I guess it's ending could be called a draw, they did demand that we quit calling our air force the RAF........And we did. LOL
