THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST POSTS IN THIS SERIES!!
The One Year look back has some very interesting comments..
The idea of “Totalitarian War” was, apparently, rather a new concept to them. The “win or lose”, all or nothing approach was not really the way they had been fighting wars.
Notice... there was ZERO discussion about concern for civilian deaths... this was, Kill, or be killed.. for EVERYONE, not just the soldiers.
It is still amazing to me, that the US was standing idly by... even as this was going on in Britain. Wow...
Thanks. I enjoy putting the Sunday edition threads together. They take more time but there is usually cool stuff in the News of the Week in Review. Unfortunately I don't think they get noticed much. Wednesday seems to be slow here.
I guess we (the USA) was not ready, the draft bill was going through Congress, people were still stunning from the depression.
I think what it would be like today - if say - NK crossed into the south, over ran our positions, kill or captured 30K American troops?
- I bet with our current regime
- we would stand down.
