Had occasion to watch "The War" a few nights ago. The segment was highlighting the "Battle of the Bulge". What the troops went through there was mind boggling. The casualties ran in the 10's of thousands PER MONTH as I recall. Wonder if this country would have the stomach for such a conflict today? Think of the other theatre's in the Pacific, Normandy beaches, etc.. What about Truman's decision to use "The Bomb". All took real guts by everyone involved.

Today this country is completely emasculated. Hell, our industrial complex couldn't even mount a real war effort if we tried, we'd have to get all our supplies from China. Face it folks, we've been sold out and most people (younger than us) haven't figured it out yet.
The "hay-day" is behind us I fear.
