Man is the definition of American. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Here’s to the GOAT

Patton was speaking the truth. He spoke of rearming 1.5m German soldiers and having them help take Moscow in an operation. He believed the USA defeated the wrong enemy and this op would span March-Nov 1946. He was later “killed” by a drunk driver after being ordered home for his free speech.... the same happened to Rear Admiral Byrd.

Patton wanted to knock out the Soviets, and MacArthur wanted to knock out China. They were both right.

I wouldn't say we defeated the wrong enemy, though we did only defeat half of the enemies we should have defeated. Should've steamrolled over the Nazi regime, pressed the remaining Wehrmacht into service, and fucked the idea of communism right out of existence.

Imagine if Russia was a free capitalist nation for the last 50 years instead of commie then authoritarian. We might have mars bases by now and china would be irrelevant.

Not really. More like Asteroid bases, Making plans for colonizing Venus, starting to use Jupiter as a test bed for material strength and resistances to see how far they survive down the atmoshpere before being destroyed to then make more specific materials to war against it.

I am surprised we do not do that with the Mariana Trench pressures. I mean just do that for 10-20 years should at least allow us to find a composite to be 1/16th as strong by now(Talking about a 1.5 x 2.5 x .8 rectangle exterior with a 1 x 2 x .5 Hallow interior rectangle to allow a collapse[its all in inches]).

If you drop a feather and a bowling ball at the same time in a vacuum chamber.

The feather and the bowling ball would fall at the same rate because there is nothing for the feather to push off of.

We defeated the wrong enemy. The winner writes the history book. You’ve seen what fake news does. What real proof exists of the Holocaust? Go on on show me.

Better generals than Patton have claimed they could win in Russia before winter.

I actually never had a problem with him. Had more of a problem with Bellichek (and the dick head he proved to be) and the whole Patriots cheating organization. Brady is not ultimately going to control that.
