"I dunno about the actual writers' intent, which was probably more superficial."

The way I heard it (admittedly second hand from my father, who was reading a DS9 companion/behind the scenes guide) was that one of the show's executive producers was a huge fan of the Alamo history, and so the writers would throw in a reference to the Alamo when they wanted to get a story approved. So their intent was actually to be sneaky.

I just looked it up, and one of the writers was actually the one obsessed with the Alamo, so he slipped it in for fun and then the other writers just ran with it.

Sounds about right, really; if it had been me, there probably would have been French Revolution references galore.

That is a good explanation that I like.
