The story of El Alamo and its aftermath is a lesson in how hubris and ineptitude cause narcissists "to shoot themselves in the foot over and over again" and unnecessary deaths.
One wonders what insane Biden will do nowadays.
According to his Psychological Profile, mexican president and general Antonio de Santa Anna had a narcissistic personality.
He ruled Mexico 11 times and proclaimed himself "His Serene Highness" and "Grand Master of the Order of Guadalupe". When Santa Anna lost a leg in the war against France, he ordered that his limb were buried in the garden of Maga de Calvo, his favorite hacienda in Veracruz, accompanied by a religious ceremony and with all the military honors. Santa Anna's leg was, so to speak, a national hero¡¡¡
He took part in actions to defend the country, but one wonders if this was not done to enhance his narcissistic personality and be recognized as a hero, of returning to power every time he calculated that he could have a military success or political elevation.
Self-sabotage, close to or immediate to success, is what we see in the Texas war.
Santa Anna wins at the Alamo, but loses in San Jacinto, he has the US army on the verge of defeat in La Angostura, but withdraws, It is pertinent to mention the effect that unconscious guilt can have on the narcissist. This shows ambiguity, triumph and self-destruction.
For the general and president of Mexico, Antonio López de Santa Anna, the revolts in Texas were nothing more than a problem of "mexican rioters" so he left behind a large part of his forces. There was a lot of arrogance in the general. Every decision by Santa Anna was reckless.
The texan rebel army was fleeing outnumbered but the further it went into Texas land the more American assistance it gained. To this circumstance the mexican army had to add that Santa Anna did not know the terrain as well as the enemy, it lacked provisions and his troops were divided.
In the battle of San Jacinto, Santa Anna made the most serious mistake by ordering the reinforcements to eat and sleep in what was intended to be a short nap and which ended up being a marathon in honor of Morpheus. Thanks to Santa Anna's poor strategy, the reinforcements that arrived at nine in the morning were exhausted. At 4.30 p.m. they were still sleeping, which came as a surprise to the Texans when they entered enemy lines without encountering any opposition.
That day, 500 mexicans were massacred and 600 were taken prisoner, including Santa Anna and his cadre of officers. The president of Mexico was imprisoned for seven months and was sent to Washington D.C. to deal directly with US President Andrew Jackson as a prisoner of war.
Back in Mexico, Santa Anna blamed the others, the loafers who fell asleep.
