My history is a bit rusty, but didn’t they get their shite pushed in by the British because they appointed some aristocrat to lead their armada?


I read a book a few years ago, “In Search of a Kingdom”, about Sir Francis Drake. Basically, Drake was a gangster pirate that robbed Spanish ships at will sailing around the world. He stole so much gold from the Spanish it set off the Spanish Armada and war with England. The Spanish crews didn’t know how to sail the rough waters around the UK and crashed.

She’s on a 3 year course with a year in each service. This time next year we should see her in an Air Force uniform.

Jesus dude, not all hispanics are 99% mestizo. Spaniards are basically white. Central and South American hispanics are lighter when they have less native (Indian) blood they have in them. And then the Argentinians have German mixed in, lol.

True, but the US Navy actually put the final nail in the Spanish Armada's coffin during the Spanish-American War.
