    And/Or the White House and Washington DC get burned to the ground, Maine gets entirely occupied…

    I always find it funny that Americans just forget how fucking badly the war of 1812 went for us.

    Our goddamned national anthem is about one of the few non complete clusterfuck losses in that war, its about the British fleet realizing burning Baltimore to the ground would be a bit too difficult and withdrawing… whereas basically every other military action in the war of 1812 was a disorganized rout for Americans.
