You had me pretty excited there for a second.
I thought maybe the Brits had decided to take out the Somali pirates once and for all. Then I saw the part about the ‘chute’ raid in Italy and I noticed the date.
Still, thanks for posting it. It’s some fine stuff from the days when there were still some world leaders on the planet who didn’t think appeasement was the best way to handle agressive totalitarians.
Oh, there were plenty of appeasers up until 1939. It's just that they got a really good lesson on the consequenses of that policy.
Do we call this a “drive by” post?
