During the Revolutionary War, British Army officer John Andre was captured by the Continental Army while ununiformed and carrying a message. Because of this, he was tried as a spy rather than a prisoner of war. The penalty for captured spies was death by hanging. During his trial, John Andre asked that he be given a soldier's death and executed by firing squad while wearing his uniform. His request to be executed by firing squad was denied, but the court did allow him to be executed in his uniform. So he was hanged while wearing his British Officer's uniform.

This is exactly what I was thinking of when I wrote that. Even our enemies were respectable back then. How far we have fallen.
Bill Clinton gets to wear the blue dress.
Pose for me like one of your Epstein paintings....
Can Big Mike?
Post-sentencing, that is. While we watch it carried out.
Big Mike is already hung.
WW1 was the last war fought with the old European Honor system. And that went to shit in the first 6 months as soon as the entrenching began.
If you need a break from shitposting watch the miniseries TURN.
It's an excellent show.
So aggravating at times though. Gotta create stupid fucking drama for ratings.
Yes
