@wittmann:

Don’t worry Worsham. You are very passionate about the subject and I am still learning.
Sorry I did not check and discreetly tell you by PM.
Hope you are having a good weekend. The 4th tomorrow….

Thank you for the kind words.

Thanks for the expert background information on this topic, Herr KaLeun.

Amazing story.

Thank you Toblerone.
I do not mind people going off at a tangent incidentally. It is all fun.
As you said, Flashman made a very good point.

Very interesting. Thanks again Wittmann.

Yes there is a point.  That point is WHEN YOU WIN.

I’m sure Eisenhower would have stood trial and been executed had the allies lost the war.

Interesting that at this point there are 2 votes down.  I wonder if you had said “I’m sure Churchill would have stood trial and been executed had the allies lost the war.”  Would you still get two votes down?  Perhaps Roosevelt and Churchill were in the same category and Eisenhower being a military man is different.

thank you for sharing ,I allways wonderd.

Well I think that Merchants, Labourers, and Soldiers need glorification to be successful, Scientists and Artists are driven to do what they do, so unfortunately, do not require near as much praise for thier efforts.

I don’t know if glorify is the correct term, but I do believe that Scholars and educators deserve the greatest reward.

Although Engineers should have some mention
