I'm not sure, maybe it has something to do with the fact they didn't surrender despite overwhelming odds?
Sebastian Russell
Losing battles are nice, sometimes.

Dying gloriously > winning > dying ingloriously > surrendering
Joseph Garcia
Horribly outnumbered and besieged held out for a while but ultimately were killed. Santa Anna's cruelty (killing everyone) inspired a lot of people to join the revolution's Texian army and seek vengence on him.
Julian Wood
how?

Italians are weak. There's no better word to describe it.

Exactly
>The Mexican army was taken by surprise, and the Battle of San Jacinto was essentially over after 18 minutes. During the fighting, many of the Texian soldiers repeatedly cried "Remember the Alamo!" as they slaughtered fleeing Mexican troops.[153] Santa Anna was captured the following day, and reportedly told Houston: "That man may consider himself born to no common destiny who has conquered the Napoleon of the West. And now it remains for him to be generous to the vanquished." Houston replied, "You should have remembered that at the Alamo"

They lost to Albania too like 5 years after Albania became independent

Why do people like the mock the French for surrendering in WW2 when Italians are much more pathetic?

Italy. That's how. They're most hilariously inept military in human history. Unification was a mistake.
Jackson Adams
because italians arnt pompous pricks
Bentley Price
because they act like they won when they were one of the first losers of the war
Josiah Moore
Ell. Oh. Ell. You've clearly never been to Italy, or met an Italian person in your entire life. (No, LARPing mutts from Noo Joizey don't count).
John Moore
because it was the event that convinced congress to admit texas into the united states of america
they wanted to be american as soon as mexico lost them, but we didnt want another (slave) state to join the union
Jordan Mitchell
Italians are dicks as well.
