@ August I sort put that into words wrong. I know that WWII was goona go down anyway. what i am saying is that we due to a public that largely supported not getting involved was a bad thing. If wed have said we in this too when England and France declared war in 1939 it could very possiably shortened the war by years. I mean the military knew for many years that some day we would fight Japan in the Pacific. And they also knew that sooner or later wed would have to fight Germany as well. So what i really should have said is that the general publics desire to "stay out of it" hurt rather than helped us.Bottom line to me is like it or not we are the world power right now and to have said power you have got to be in places. And I no dumb dumb either I was in the Air Force and the Army and have been overseas including Iraq. In fact Id say that being in the military over the years is what helped me to understand how the world works some say love everyone or just saty in your nation it just dosent work that way. the only way to insure that you are safe is to have your power on display where it needs to be.And we dont always get it right we dont always pick the right place the right time but you cant always be right. That is what got us WWII they let Hitler do things way back in the 30s they could have said hey buddy you better chill out but they did not. All things that happen in the world have an effect on the rest of it.

By the way your pic there you have the old kit when was that late 60s 70s early 80s? Hard to tell by the small pic. Looks alot like Grenada got a buddy that was an Airborne Ranger he was in that back in 83.
