That war was salvaged by that evacuation, not won by it. Had the Germans massacred the British Army at Dunkirk, like they could have, It may have taken the USA years to get enough kit across the Atlantic to turn the tide of war. Thing could have gone on into the 50's....easily
...Or we would have used nuclear weapons in Europe...
It was actually pretty amazing watching the radar late last night and early this morning out that way. The snow storm would drift over the burning up area and pretty immediately turn into rain on the screen.
Our Shriner’s Temple in Waco is currently working with the temple in Amarillo to work on getting some stuff organized to get up there. Will post information as I get it. Will be good to have a base location here and get it all to one spot up there for distribution.
My bad. Didn't realize we were in the "let's look at a snapshot of data and use it without the context of decades of other data" thread either. It's a legit question that isn't some fucking political backand like you think it is. What I said is true. So is that little snapshot. Maybe, just maybe, Ukraine would have more kit in country had their neighbors not sat on their ass for 30 fucking years letting the US do all the heavy lifting re:military spend. Maybe they'd have more kit in country if some folks would stop fucking up the process of getting them more. Maybe this wouldn't be happening if we didn't sit with our dick in our hand 10 years ago. Lot of fucking maybes and mights. But we know what they say about mights...
