No, but it should of enhanced your understanding of the Battle of the Alamo and help you teach a class on the Battle of the Alamo, may be not a class on the Texas Revolution, but I wouldn't expect a trip to a battle site to teach me about the diplomatic matters of a war/battle.
Anyway that's enough for me and this is my opinion, I always strive to have hands on experience in my field/job and from the gutter to the army, I have my life experience. However I am not trying to start a flame war so this will be my last post in this thread.
