Your point is well taken. My premise of being a different country is intact. Hitler said the world will only survive in ‘Eternal Conflict”. When will the world prove him wrong?The islamofacists are even more ruthless than the Germans or the Russians could ever be. Our grand children’s lives are at stake and it is good to know that WE the people are very aware of our new enemy. The coming war is at hand and pray to God it does not start we us first.
Not to mention the other problem with the hospital in Mannheim. It's very very noisy there because it's located right next to the steamroller factory.
lol
See my post #21. Don’t spend your money on the book. It reads like a rehash of a 1970’s novel about an assassination plot to kill Patton using a rubber bullet.
No question, and I think this battle has to be fought in the cultural arena as well as military and political. I favor a new “Radio Free Islam/Voice of America” to erode and undermine Al-Jazeera.
I don't know of John Huntsman, Sr., but the Glenn Beck/Thomas Paine is one of those things where you just slap your head, of course !
Radio Free Islam/Voice of America
I really like your thinking. How about some audio guys telling us how it can be done?
Thanks! I won’t spend my money on this rehash of a 1970’s novel.

Okay, I've got it. Patton knew, via his aide, that Arthur wasn't a natural born citizen and this was the big secret Patton was going to reveal. Fifteen year old George Soros, already planning to use 3 year-old Ann Dunham and an African exchange student to be named later to spawn his chosen candidate for the presidency he would install 60-some years later knew that if the Arthur story became public, he'd never get his man into office and so ordered the hit. Your uncle, obviously, was the triggerman. Karzai knows the whole story and is blackmailing Soros to back his heroin smuggling empire.
Yes, the US supplied materiel in abundance to the Russkies: and I'd match the US production capabilities to Russia's in a heartbeat (the US produced some 48 Thousand Sherman tanks and variants, according to the good folks at Avalon Hill).
But I've never heard or read much about the Russian Air Force's capabilities: neither the quality of their *designs*, nor the actual airframes, nor yet again the skill of their pilots.
And I read once that Stalin pulled out of a planned takeover of Iran in '46 or when Truman sent an envoy to threaten Stalin that if he didn't leave, we'd nuke him.
Doesn't square with what you wrote -- can you give me more information?
Full Disclosure: I just bought your "Patriot's History of the United States" and "48 Liberal Lies" for my college-type cub for Christmas. I hope he lets me read them when he's done...
Cheers!
...oh, and Merry Christmas!
The number on the Shermans and other tanks was 95,000, of which we gave 11,000 to Russia. I've heard the Iran story, but haven't confirmed it in any sources yet. But it's a big difference for Stalin to go to war over Iran, which he almost certainly couldn't hold and never occupied the way he had eastern Europe, and Germany or Poland. But the point is BOTH knew they couldn't win based on their strengths---his conventional forces couldn't be stopped without our atomic bombs, but we couldn't invade WITH the atomic bombs. Stalemate.
Cheers!
Patton also wanted to cut off the "bulge", effectively surrounding the German troops in the salient. This would have saved countless lives on both sides, and may have ended the war more quickly. (On the down side, it would have saddled the Allies with the logistics of dealing with a lot of prisoners).
I recall he was alleged to have made comments to the effect of 'Let's fight the b@stards now, while we have the stuff over here.', referring to the Russians.
And he certainly wouldn’t have gotten into that Market Garden fiasco.
I don't think most Americans even cared, there was still a strong isolationist bent, that was only done away with when the Japs attacked.
