Noteworthy," Atlas Shrugs. Atlas reader Walt puts it in perspective:
"During the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 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 the almost exact amount of time, the Obama administration couldn't build a functioning web site."
