Dude was born there. Not from there.
As he himself supposedly said, "a man may be born in a stable. It does not make him a horse."
OT. Pretty damn solid. Especially when it comes to defence. But he could attack too if he needed too. Just look at Assaye.

In his prime though Ney was amazing. He probably suffered from PTSD and wanted to end it, his actions at Waterloo are often thought to be grandiose suicide, which tarnishes my opinion of him a lot as he took a lot of men with him so as to have a grandiose death.

Funny how Canada and the UK aren't on the US leash (though the UK would also be on the EU's leash as well, like the slut of a country it is)

He didn't actually say that. Daniel O'Connell said that against Wellesley.
In the Napoleonic era the idea of "Irish" and "British" being two mutually exclusive things wasn't really the case, just as much as "Scottish" and "British" aren't conflicting identities today. So he's historically recognized as simply "Anglo-Irish".
