    Good on them

    Fun fact about Grenada: for a few years, it was a socialist monarchy. A Leninist group overthrew the government in 1979 and remained in power for four years, but in that time it never left the Commonwealth or stopped recognising Queen Elizabeth II as head of state

          the primary school used to teach that the usa never lost a war because things like grenada and vietnam didn’t have a declaration of war.

          i wonder if they still teach it that way.
