Bump for later.

Thanks to gloBULLism, offshoring,stupidity and greed the USA will never be able to do this again if needed unless we be super protectionists NOW..

[central_va]

The world is now geared for wars that last hours or days, not years.

This is what globalist sell outs tell us the lie that it doesn't matter if the USA is a industrial nation.

Every war we've been in since the Korean War has lasted 8 years or longer.

[central_va]

We would have to make China an ally.

Sarcasm, right?

[central_va]

Leftists sue to stop any type of productivity or real progress.

It was Wall Street, globalists and Republicans that off shored industry and sold out America. Place the blame where it is due.

[central_va]

We couldn’t do anything close now.

Why? Offshoring, globalism and greed.

[central_va]

This is why you don’t outsource your production.

"Republicans" don't want to hear that, all they care about is their 401k's.

If all those numbers don’t blow one’s mind, now think of all the infrastructure and logistics that was necessary to SUPPLY all that manufacturing!!!!

Exactly why we need a high import tariff now. Think of the resurgence of jobs!!!

[central_va]

Everybody says “bring back manufacturing”. But it takes logistics and a supply chain. We barely have either, and it would take nearly as long to regain those things as it took to lose them. We barely have any SCREW manufacturers anymore.

Which is why it need to be done.

Sarcasm, right?

Indeed.

As I recall, it took just a little over 100 days for prototype for the P-51 Mustang to be built from plans to rollout. That’s amazing!

How many of today's regs did they break?

[daniel1212]

Thank you for the succinct overview!

[daniel1212]

If all those numbers don’t blow one’s mind, now think of all the infrastructure and logistics that was necessary to SUPPLY all that manufacturing!!!!

And then how to use if after the war ended. Detroit for one, must have found this useful. Today most of the younger generation do not know who the principal combatants were, and why we have bases worldwide. But they are taught to protest in ignorance.

[daniel1212]

This required an effort that, in recent decades or years, would absolutely not be possible... The men and women who struggled their way through the recession understood, and made, the sacrifices (both on the war front and the home front) necessary for the final victory...

Indeed, and as i said, I do not think that we could fight WW1 or WW2 on its terms with the character overall of us today. Esp. college students.

[daniel1212]

It’s a crying shame, we can barely do or build anything any longer in this nation. Leftists sue to stop any type of productivity or real progress.

And a brainwashed ignorant teenage activist is exalted as an prophetess.

[daniel1212]

That’s actually covered in the first part of the book. FDR wanted the government to build its own factories to build munitions and armaments. He was prevailed upon to have US industry do it. Thank God he did otherwise we probably would not have won the war.

Imagine if only government made computers and an OS.

The government paid private industry, of course.

With tax dollars of course. Government is essential, but I was reacting again deifying it, as liberals seek to subject all to giving them the honor that belongs to God.

[daniel1212]

Here's what's missing: "to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the Congress of the United States." (US Declaration of War December 8, 1941.

That consecration testifies to the character of a nation, whereas today liberals would surrender to the Chinese and Russian by being duped by their promises of peace (by becoming agents of propaganda).

Meanwhile, a country that is at war with God can hardly expect His aid without repentance.

[daniel1212]

This is why you don’t outsource your production.

At least to your adversaries. But when the population is adverse to long hard work (not video games) and unions will put a business out of business by its high demands, then we have a problem.
