  6. WI: US has not adopted a semi-auto rifle by its entry to WWII

  13. Gulf war 1990 without NATO and USA

    I wouldn't, the Gulf Nations have shit ton of money to hire people. It would not just be Muslims, it would be South Africans, later Eastern European and other nations from other parts of the world. I think it would last years and in the end we would see the birth of the private military...
  14. Gulf war 1990 without NATO and USA
