They occupied Spain for 900 years; getting booted out in 1492. And they were stopped at the Gates of Vienna in 1683. We fought them in the Philippines at the beginning of the 20th Century. Hence the adoption of the Colt 45 Auto.

"To the shores of Tripoli" is not just a line in the Hymn. It was Lt. Preston O'Banion and his small contingent of U.S. Marines that took Libya. To this day Marine officers wear the Mamaluke sword awarded for this battle.

We are in a new phase of a very old war.

Wake up,
Roscoe
