<p>“Absurd” maybe to you.</p>
<p>Not to me. I see the selfishness of people today, only caring about themselves, not the good of the country.</p>
<p>You can continue your rant about the military and Republican bashing (not sure what that has to with anything), I am talking about civilian sacrifice that went on during WWII that WOULD NOT happen today.</p>
<p>Too many “moveon.org” types would be whining and crying about every little sacrifice they would have to make in order to win the war. They would be funding the opposition party, buying ad-time on TV ridiculing the military and the leadership. Public opinion would sway to their leftist anti-war Cindy Sheehan protests. Senators and Congressmen more worried about getting re-elected by taking the floor of Congress to bash instead of support. WWII would not have been won had the exact same things been done in 1942.</p>
<p>ACLU lawsuits would pile up and pile up. “How dare you tell me when I can drive my car”, and “how dare you tell me when I can buy sugar” etc.</p>
<p>PLEEEEZZZZZZEEEEE!!! :rolleyes: You can “PLEEEEZZZZZZEEEEE!!!” all you want to. It doesn’t change the facts. (And you would be using the German word “bitte” instead.</p>
