Not a chance! Neither Germany, Japan, nor any other country has had
the manpower and transport capability to mount an invasion force
against the USofA since England tried it in 1812.


And you could have achieved that strength without Rosie? Anyway, I was
talking about here in Europe. Whatever my parents' generation think about
the Yanks, we'd have been struggling without all the liberty ships, tanks,
ordnance, fuel, etc, etc. Of course, there were British Rosies as well,
building Spitfires and Hurricanes and Lancasters, and in many ways it's a
shame their role hasn't been celebrated to the same extent as the American
Rosies.
