That's right, we outspent and outproduced Germany and Japan, which is why neither of them really wanted us in the fight. Italy was a pretty much a non factor. Could we do that again given today's youth, the woke military, and the current industrial might. I don't think so.

Lesson 2: Count your fingers.
Lesson 3: When you can't come up with 10, either you just lost one in a machine, or you're too drunk to count to 10!

When I needed to do some shaping. I'd go to lunch, couple beers and a smoke to smooth my nerves. Then turn up the walkman to hide the whine of the knives
