Maybe even suggest some books that do show the truth.
Good idea

Hey Redcoat, it wasn't me who posted that bit about Mel Gibson. It was Guaripa.

Re: the Scots at Stirling Bridge. Well if you get your butt kicked I guess you can call it an "ambush". Actually it was just a change in tactics. All armies everywhere have the right to do that. You suggest that the Scots did something nefarious and as someone of 3/4 Scots lineage I take offense at that. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt though that you didn't intend that.
