Y'mean the Comet is why we lost the Vietnam War????

If you'd had the Comet, you'd have lost it even faster than you did!

WRONG. We won every war I ever fought in. ((:-))

Only because FDR had the political will to win the war. Unlike LBJ, who
was
more interested in Lady Bird's company Brown and Root paving Viet Nam.



There were 11 million of us under arms that made that will happen.

I don't doubt the contribution of men under arms during WWII.

I am pleased that when we have a discussion about Bastogne I can contribute
more than just wondering if my father changed the Wolf's spark plugs.
