"What seemed dishonourable for a battlefield soldier was not for politicians" That made me smile. |

I wonder where 'ID7776906' in the comments of that article gets his history from? I wonder if he is a poster on this site? If he is, I hope he can tell me where he got it from. Mind you, If he regularly reads the Guardian he will have a bloody good excuse! Paul :) |

Reminds me of an early time 'in this bigger revolution' when George Washington was in the sights of a British soldier and a British officer told him not to fire as it would be dishonourable. Now, was that officer Simcoe of the Queen's Rangers? I don't recall. |

No, it was Patrick Ferguson, commander of the short-lived Rifle Corps – and he himself was the one who supposedly refused to shoot Washington. |

That ID777 feller is hilarious! Seems to have a bit of a bee in his bonnet…… |
