Did the French win WW2 in 1914? Well, perhaps, but if they hadn't there wouldn't have been a WW2.
Did the Jeep shorten the war? Well, perhaps, but if it was never made than a better utility vehicle may have been made instead!

You can't make judgments about what caused past event 'B' with out asking "if event 'A' never happened, would event 'B' still have happened?".
Asking "what if" questions about the past like this can be no more accurate than trying to predict the future and far less useful.


Anyway, I know none of you where being serious so this is a pointless post.

Go have coffee Letum, because obviously the Jeep was a product of divine intervention and used by more nations during the war than any other single weapon or piece of equipment. Even the Axis drove them when they could capture them. :yep:

Yikes, are your veins popping our of your neck yet?:lol:
It's 5:58am here in the UK and I've been up all night trying to finish off a project. I'm surrounded by empty coffee mugs and I have a interview in 3 hours. I'm on some kind of high induced by lack of sleep, caffeine and stress.

The veins have almost burst.

Going on a manic spring-cleaning spree now.
