>>240332A few points that people make when discussing that era:
-Santa Anna was retarded and a bane to the country.
-"Niños héroes" ("the heroic children") is just an urban legend incorporated onto the national mythos.
But like even then the war ended so quick and steady cuz no one was willing to die for the cunt.
Supposedly ppl in Mexico city left their houses with their chair to watch from a safe distance the two sides battle out irl in Churubusco just to see how it goes. I imagine that kinda going like
"Oh woe, we lost… Anyway what your wife making for supper tomorrow? :DD"
