Scots Irish, how so? I got one of those swimming in my genes...probably explains this kind of behavior...

The Scots Irish are known for their over representation in the US military. The Romans never civilized the Scots who preferred feuds and fighting. The Brits forced many to move to Ireland to undermine the Catholics/Anglicans. Sen Webb wrote a book on them titled "Born Fighting."
Key Points Summary:
The Scots-Irish are descendants of Scottish Presbyterians who settled in Ireland (Ulster) in the 17th century and later emigrated to the United States.
They were integral to the development of the American frontier, especially in Appalachia and the South.
They had a significant influence on American music, religion, and political culture.
Today, many people of Scots-Irish descent are part of broader Anglo-American or Appalachian communities in the U.S.
Several U.S. Presidents are of Scots-Irish (or Ulster Scots) heritage, reflecting the significant migration of Scots-Irish people to America, especially in the 18th century. Here are the presidents with notable Scots-Irish ancestry:
1. Andrew Jackson (7th President)
2. Thomas Jefferson (3rd President)
3. James Knox Polk (11th President)
4. Abraham Lincoln (16th President)
5. Ulysses S. Grant (18th President)
6. Woodrow Wilson (28th President)
7. Lyndon B. Johnson (36th President)
8. Richard Nixon (37th President)
