I did have that thought- funny you should mention it. They are pretty comfortable taking things back a thousand years.
My mom gave me “ The Islamic Antichrist” by Joel Richardson for Christmas; I’ve only been getting through a few pages a night before I sleep, but it is an eye opener.
At that technology level you and I could die of old age before the US is conquered.
That’s increasingly my thought as well.
If they few want to go forward into the past, I say “let them not only go, let’s make sure they go.”
I’ve pretty much had a belly full of the mud-hut brigades. We’ve spent no small amount of blood and coin on these clowns, and the best we can hope for from them is a level of civilization that compares with the 17th century in Europe.
Maybe. On a really good day.
