In the US Civil War, one slogan was, “a night with Venus, a lifetime with Mercury” — the metal was used to treat VD.
Are you, in earnest, referring to pop songs, in which poetic license is frequently invoked, as a standard according to which we should evaluate - and forgive - the faulty grammar of a serious essay?

My dad in in artillery often forward observer so also MOS of radio operator. Watched as Mounta Cassino was bombed. Also saw Vesuvius erupt. Made an ash tray out of lava and sent it to his dad who smoked a pipe.
I watched a documentary last year about the prostitutes in Hawaii. They used the war to get *super* rich. One bought a four story hotel and turned it into the biggest cathouse in the world.
A guy would get in line on the street. When he made to the check-in desk he paid his money and got a ticket.
Upstairs he would go to his room, drop his pants and lay on the bed. When the girl came into the room she would give the guy three minutes of up and down action after which she would hop up and on to the next room, whether the present guy was done or not. All “guests” had been warned about the three minute rule at check-in.
That madam made enough money to buy one of the nicest houses in the Islands.

Love the articles you post, however (even though I may sometimes wince at the junior high school-level mistakes they occasionally contain - I understand that you are not to be faulted for them).

Those guys had all the luck. ;^)
The US troops also used mass-produced portable radios, which helped coordinate ground assaults in rapid order, another advantage lacking among our adversaries.

In the 1980’s I was on a Navy cruise around S.A. After 6 months into it I jokingly asked the corpsmen how many of the crew ( 320+ ) had gotten the clap on the cruise, he said it was easier to tell how many had not got it.
We need them today for various assorted skanks and disease vectors of all 57 genders.
Great Graphics!!!
The most expensive items of WWII vary, and I’ve seen a number of lists. Recently, read one where it ws B-29 first, Manhattan Project second, and Norden Bombsight third. Never seen one with penicillin on the list though.
I tend to watch a lot of stuff about WWII aircraft, so my sources may be biased.
