SO this day in history the Batle of Cowpens occurred. Depicted in the film "The Patriot" (with LOTS of artistic license) the Revolutionary War patriots (or rebels, depending which side you were on) beat the snot out of the Brits. It is also the day in 1961 that outgoing President Eisenhower warned about the "military - industrial" complex.

I should add that, despite what you may hear, I was NOT at the Battle of Cowpens. I think Gaffer was there though.
