Carl Spaatz, the World War II bomber commander, once rather airily acknowledged that he had never read the Strategic Bombing Survey, which after the war had called into question many of the assumptions of the strategic bombing theories. "We won the war," Spaatz said, "and I was never interested enough to read it."

Veterans for Constitution Restoration is a non-profit, non-partisan educational and grassroots activist organization. The primary area of concern to all VetsCoR members is that our national and local educational systems fall short in teaching students and all American citizens the history and underlying principles on which our Constitutional republic-based system of self-government was founded. VetsCoR members are also very concerned that the Federal government long ago over-stepped its limited authority as clearly specified in the United States Constitution, as well as the Founding Fathers' supporting letters, essays, and other public documents.

Spaatz, like other generals, was a killer of men. In the winter and spring of 1944, he began a campaign of straightforward attrition against the Luftwaffe day-fighter force for the purpose of extinguishing its capacity to interfere with American bomber operations and the upcoming cross-channel invasion.

We need these types of generals today! We've become too PC.

Good morning and thanks for the story on Spaatz. I love the quote too, he didn't bother to read the Stratigic Bombing Survey "We won the war," Spaatz said, "and I was never interested enough to read it."

LOL! Good man.
