Well, I can’t speak for Unrepentant VN Vet, but that is my guess.
During the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and ended with the Surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, the U.S. produced 22 aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, 48 cruisers, 349 destroyers, 420 destroyer escorts, 203 submarines, 34 million tons of merchant ships, 100,000 fighter aircraft, 98,000 bombers, 24,000 transport aircraft, 58,000 training aircraft, 93,000 tanks, 257,000 artillery pieces, 105,000 mortars, 3,000,000 machine guns, and 2,500,000 military trucks.

We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, won the battle for the Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day, marched across the Pacific and Europe, developed the atomic bomb and ultimately conquered Japan and Germany.
It’s worth noting, that during the almost exact amount of time, the Obama administration couldn’t build a functioning web site.
You’re welcome. We’re always one or two shows behind as well.
I’m arriving late and am glad to hear Rush discussion “Kindergarden of Eden.” I read it and it was pretty good.
BLM = Bureau of Land Management, an agency charged with management of Federal land. Especially in forested and grazing lands in the Rocky Mountain states.
Up until the 90’s, used to see commercial logging as well as individuals gleaning out the deadfall or trash trees for firewood on both BLM and Forest “Service” land.
EcoNazis filed a bunch of suits to “protect the environment” that killed commercial logging (among others), it became fashionable to declare everything in sight a Wilderness Area, the bureaucrats in BLM and NFS went from managing to controlling and along with closing out all those rich villainous businesses, the public got shut out of their ability to go cut firewood.
So no loggers go in to harvest trees, nobody cleans up the slash n’ trash for their home woodpile and the woods just stand there and get clogged up with all that overgrowth and deadfall until there’s a lightning strike and the whole place burns right down to below root lines.
I’d say that’s fairly screwed up.
Lol - I have NEVER heard the “commercial” for Capitol Dry Cleaners before. Pretty funny.
Good description.
The Prescott national forest was ruined by those aholes.
There was a bark beetle infestation and they would not clear the infected trees.
Soon the entire forest has dead.
A tinderbox.
There is no funding for Unemployment extension.
Federal funding was cut Dec 28 2013.
Corn pellets?
I’ll look into that.
Wood pellets are plentiful/inexpensive and likely will remain so....at least until some EcoNazi or gummint expert decides that they now want to control sawdust.
(Don’t know if I’ll bother with an /sarc....)
Yeah, we’ve got about ninety miles of standing burnout along the south side of I-90 in Montana that some judge ruled can’t be cleaned up.
Don’t suppose I’m the only person calls that Sierra Club Clearcut.
“Sierra Club Clearcut”
LOL! an apt description.
What article is Limbaugh reading from??
I am sorry I was doing something else and missed it.
