The Stars and Stripes Anthem

Somebody sent me a link to You Tube it was group of kids singing the Stars and Stripes and very well I might add.

Later on in the evening I thought that the situation in which the Anthem was written was funny.

Now don`t get me wrong I`ve nothing against the USA and have served alongside US troops when I was in the Army.

But honestly don`t you think it was funny that it was written while Keys was being held hostage on either HMS Surprise or HMS Minden at the time so they couldn`t tell the defenders about ships that were sneaking up to Bombard Fort McHenry Baltimore I believe it was. A battle which the British lost in the end.
