That picture ... WTF?

I'm not sure what an NCOIC is (non-commissioned officer in charge?). I get your drift about the "vibe," but the picture really makes no sense. Did a zoo ship from the future capsize somewhere letting the exhibits free? And by the looks of things, the General (who actually was right-handed) has more immediate danger around him than pausing to stab a tiger; same for the tiger vs. George. But speaking as one partial to animals, the artist might've been wiser portraying a giant squid.My NCOIC has a bunch of art from this guy hanging in his office. I like it. It's kind of an "America **** yeah" vibe...

It's all conjecture. And for one thing, he doesn't take into account that if the Brits "respected boundaries" as he suggests, the rest of the continent probably would've been carved up into additional countries by Spain/Mexico and France, posing the eventuality of territorial wars. Once Europe started setting foot here, the Indians were goners one way or the other. An earlier end to the slavery issue is a wild guess. The only virtual certainty would be no NFL.Tune is it historically inaccurate? Don't get me wrong, I love the country we've ended up with. But now that it's the fifth... I'd seriously love some hard facts to the contrary, because unless the history in the article is wrong, it makes a pretty decent case.
(On the other hand... Murka!)

You didn't gain your independence, Mass just ditched ya...In Maine we have 2 Independence Days. July 4th, and March 15th when we gained our freedom from Mass in 1820. We were never infected with the bad driving habits because we got out early.
It kind of has a "Life of Pie meets Washington Crossing the Delaware" vibe too.
My guess is the tiger's name is Richard Parker.
The book/movie is Life of Pi (π).
Life of Pie is Rex Ryan's childhood.
