Wow. You've really outdone yourself this time.
It makes my job easier here when people like you choose to disregard reality.

I don't know what history you draw upon for your statements, however:
During World War II, there were Massive shortages of Copper. Copper was the main ingredient for Shell Casings, Bullets, Bombs and Guns for the war!
The US Government was forced to forgo the copper they typically used for coins until they could find more elsewhere! The copper saved by making
pennies out of Steel (rather than copper) was enough to meet the combined needs of "two cruisers, two destroyers, 1242 flying fortresses, 120 field
guns and 120 howitzers" or enough for 1 and 1/4 million shells for Big Field Guns! WOW! What Demand!

I'm going out for awhile... maybe I'll come back and see what other hilarious ideas you guys come up with later on.
good. when you get back you can better explain what you meant when you said:
"Wow. You've really outdone yourself this time.
"
if you knew more than the allies of most the world at the time, i am interested to know what you knew, and how you knew more than all the world
leaders at that time???
I'm still waiting for the Mods to recycle this useless thread.
if there is no use for this thread for you, go elsewear.
SonOfMan, please go on . ..
