<p>I’ll say it again:</p>
<p>If we had to fight that war today, we would all be speaking German.</p>
<p>Not that the military forces wouldn’t do their job, (they would), but the civilian population as a whole would not make the necessary sacrifices.</p>
<p>“A” cards for gas, shoes rationed (along with sugar, butter, rubber, etc etc etc), scrap drives, bond drives, blackouts - the selfish average American would scream about “their rights” and file countless lawsuits.</p>
<p>We owe that generation so much.</p>
