The United States and Mexico settled on the border between our nations after the Republic of Texas and Mexico got into their second dustup over whether or not Texas existed. Mexico said no and we’re going to kill you dirty rebels. Texas said yes and we’re going to shoot you first. And the United States bellied on up to the bar and said we’d like to have some input on this. Maybe we can talk things over? In Mexico City. So the United States Marines and the Texas Rangers took a little road trip down to Mexico City. Mexico did not by the way agree to the road trip, and in fact tried to stop it. And that’s how the Marines added “To the Halls of Montezuma” to the Marine Anthem. It’s amazing how many lines in that anthem were inscribed via extreme violence.
