“Me No Alamo!”

The story goes that, at the Battle of San Jacinto which decided Texas Independence, the Texans (not a typo) roared down on the Mexican soldiers screaming “REMEMBER THE ALAMO!” The memory of that massacre, and the lesser known now, but better known then, Goliad massacre, was fresh on their minds.

The Mexican soldiers reportedly responded: “Me no Alamo!” Which is at least the spirit of Vance’s reply.
