Excerpts. See article for more and images.

Thank God for those who served, and for those who enabled such production for the purpose of fighting evil empires. Yet now the Navy knows how to marry men with men, and thinks it is wise to have men and women work (etc.) together on subs, and all overall the military is committed to helping the enemies within, saluting the Leftist politically correct flag.

On her present course of war against God, the day will come when it is said, "How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!" (2 Samuel 1:27)

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!

My grandfather was 34 in 1939 and thru luck chanced into pentagon contracts to first paint bases and then construct barracks and hangars etc

He and his two partners got rich doing it

And all three came from nothing

Nothing since 1866 anyhow

It changed the trajectory of his descendants via education and opportunities

The one I remember is that we stopped building half-tracks in 1943 because we had more than we could use. When I was a kid the 1970s I remember seeing ads where you could buy a complete, never-used, WW2 half-track in the original crates, some assembly required.

I love reading about WWII. Just recently I've been reading more on our production during the war. We simply buried the Axis powers with out production.

I bet that ol' Joe Stalin was aware of how much we built as well.

He knew if we ever went to war with the Ruskies they'd be cut off from a lot of stuff.
