Saints and Soldiers or A bridge to far

Speaking of medium bombers, I feel for the Japanese bomber crews who operated the Betty, which was a flying gas can. Although it must be nice to have a 20 mm cannon for a tail gunner.

I think it is fantastic.  A private citizen doing what they feel is right.

Makes much more sense than charity at gun point via taxes.

wonder how long it took them to come up with the chocolate bomb after the pea bomb sat on a shelf

(yeah i know it was wartime and everyone ate what they could, but peas? i’d be safe for a lifetime from that one)

Cant you even put the Emperor of Japan’s name?

Sorry, I had a mental block and couldn’t remember. I figured everyone would know who I meant.

yea, logistics are the backbone of any military. and generals will tell you “amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics”, but all told, it only takes a general to manage logistics because of the specialized nature of the military. otherwise, anyone with those kind of planning and organizational skills could do it.

… also they did not have an affective way to kill russian supply lines…the soviets did…

I’m not sure of the ground war (though the Germans were heavily outnumbered at the time and barely trying to hold their own), but the German U-Boat fleet really crippled Russia-British shipping for awhile in the Archangel area.

Best of the 20th Century

Ronald Reagan - inspirational leader, made americans proud, killed the USSR and Warsaw Pact threat, brought America back from the economic misery of the late 1960’s and 1970’s Dwight D. Eisenhower - a brilliant man who got things done FDR (War Years) - a leader when leadership was needed Richard Nixon - resignation overshadows the fact he was a good president Teddy Roosevelt - conservationist, expanded US influence in the world

Worst of the 20th Century

LBJ - Corrupt, Stupid, and Foolish…many Americans died for no reason under his leadership, the ‘Great Society’ was a complete failure. JFK - Corrupted by the Mob, Bay of Pigs failure, all flash no substance FDR (Depression Era) - Depression dragged on because of his inept policies Jimmy Carter - Wimp, Apologist, and Poor leader Herbert Hoover - Couldn’t breech the floodgates of the Depression

Whoever the “Jimmy Carter” fan is, is a complete moron. I don’t even have to explain the reasons why he was perhaps the least effective leader this country has ever had.
