    On the 4th of July, American’s don’t celebrate that British soldiers were killed, we celebrate the society we won in the process.

      You think the “shot heard round the world” didn’t hit someone?

      We have to start somewhere and celebrate the early battles as well as the war’s outcome

        I mean back in the day, there’s a solid chance that shot was way off target.

      When the war was still going on, they probably did celebrate the number of enemy killed.
