Common sense: military fighting units first, the first being air forces. Air supremecy, then ground war. Common sense.

There is no 'step by step' process that works like that. The enemy always has a say. Military units by nature are difficult to target on an operational or strategic level, industry is tied to location. Much easier to predict where the Ruhr steelworks will be than the 1st Panzer Division.

As for air supremacy, that was a product of strategic bombing and Hitler's obstinacy. Trained pilots were mauled by the bombers and later the escorts. Fighter production in the Reich went up, but by then the die was cast.

That’s about the goofiest statement I’ve heard here in long time.

What would General Patton’s answer be to that BS ?

The US was a bunch of pantywaists who would rather bomb a city that fight the 1st panzer division ?

My God, what have we come to ?

Are we that determined to stick to our delusions of grandeur about the past that have been written for us by the publishers (read new world order) of history books and blathering infotainment idiots ?

Those idiots have been assigned the task of getting conservatives to support 100% latitude for new world order top technical advisors to US Presidents to get them to order the US military all over the planet in pursuit of new world order’s petty ambitions.

Is that what “defending America” is about, installing puppet governments ?

Has American and British foreign policy done anything but new world orders bidding in the last century ?

Why should the citizens of every nation not be left to determine their own leadership without manipulation by a bunch of wicked international financial elites ?
