The “you’re welcome” was a recognition that my grandpa was highly involved in Operation Paperclip. He did lots of…interesting things.
There is a photo of him sitting next to Marcos on the plane when he was evacuated from the Philippines.
He worked extensively “building breweries” in South America right after WWII and, a few years later, built breweries in the USSR and China.
We will never know everything he did, but through his actions I know we beat the Soviets to the moon.
They should have “beat” the Soviets infesting America, most of our problems today can be laid at the feet of the collectivist totalitarians. In retrospect it looks strange to deploy 500,000 troops to the other side of the world, whilst the termites were at home making the Long March through the institutions. Nazis were Socialists too, and absolutely without scruples or morals or a history of democratic governance.
The shit the spook agencies were doing in the 1950s belies the calm exterior of the decade. I sincerely doubt the turbulent, revolutionary 1960s was any sort of organic grass roots affair. It was engineered, and America never recovered.
Just a ‘little’ omission. /s
I appreciate what your GP did, preventing them from going to our enemies, but it changes nothing in the root of my comment.
(Btw, brewery is a clever cover...)
