Leave it to someone from New Yaahhhk to foul it up :) I believe the "geographically-challenged" Mr. Paul was referring to "The Little Big Horn", the final battle site for General Custer. The real lesson of the Little Big Horn is "Never Piss Off Indians When They Outnumber You Ten To One", whereas the real lesson of the Alamo is "Never Piss Off Texans, Even If You Outnumber Them Ten To One".
