Noteworthy Accomplishments
Something to consider -
During the 3-1/2 years of
World War II that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in
December 1941 and ended with the surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, the
U.S. produced 22 aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, 48 cruisers, 349
destroyers, 420 destroyer escorts, 203 submarines, 34 million tons of
merchant ships, 100,000 fighter aircraft, 98,000 bombers, 24,000 transport
aircraft, 58,000 training aircraft, 93,000 tanks, 257,000 artillery pieces,
105,000 mortars, 3,000,000 machine guns, and 2,500,000 military
trucks.
We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various
armed services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, won the battle for
the Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day, marched across the Pacific and
Europe, developed the atomic bomb and ultimately conquered Japan and
Germany.
It's worth noting, that during almost the exact
amount of time, the Obama administration couldn't build a functioning web
site............Just sayin
!
