Well, EEs have something to live down in the development of the telegraph . . .Its not the telegraph as such which is the problem, of course - its the killer app of the telegraph (other than the real biggie, command and control of the railroads) which is the problem. I speak, of course, of the wire service in general and the Associated Press in particular. Which set about making news reporting objective, and - tragically - ended up thinking it had actually succeeded in that.
Unfortunately, that decision implied ceasing to even try actually to be objective. Leaving journalism in a state of self-righteous liberalism.
Now, of course, EEs have redeemed their rep somewhat by creating the computer and the www. ;-)
Haha — roger that.
Does anyone remember BATTLE OF BULGE? Robert Shaw and Henry Fonda were in the film...
In that movie, M-48 tanks pretended to be Tigers...
No Sherman tanks in that movie...Chaffee tanks were used by US troops in that film...
In movie A BRIDGE TOO FAR, Sherman tanks were used by British...Some US tanks, again, pretended to be Tiger tanks in that movie...
