  1. Turkish OrÞodoxy

    Ran out of windmills I take it?:p Good luck. Every revolution has to start somewhere, might as well be here.:)
  2. December 1939: The Graf Spee Fights On !

    Have be one big AND deep river! She was 600 ft long & drew up to 24 feet of water.:)
  3. Would America really nuke Germany?

    Rather than hijacking this thread any further, I will let Tinfoil's comments stand as my last in this thread. I could not say it better.
  4. Would America really nuke Germany?

    @Floid: Thank you.
  5. Would America really nuke Germany?

    If the war had not ended for an additional two months (to chose an arbitrary date, although it is in line with the date that many anti-bomb writers seem to use) how many MORE civilian casualities would have occured? If the decision had been made to not use the Bomb, then both Hiroshima and...
  6. Would America really nuke Germany?

    Thank you for the advise. I will give the consideration it deserves. Done. I am sorry that you are so wounded by my post that you felt compelled to sink to this level of response. If I personally offended you I do sincerely apologize, despite you clear attemt to insult me in this response. I...
  7. Would America really nuke Germany?

    I don't attempt to justify it. I did justify it. I did to the point of overkill in the last of these threads on Hiroshima. If you want to read it, it it there. Without going into depth, ending the war quickly was the MOST HUMANE thing possible. Had the Atomic Bomb not been used on Hiroshima &...
  8. Would America really nuke Germany?

    Point #1 - No major disagreement To points #2 & #4 - Everyone is entitled to an opinion, even if the facts do not fit the opinion, as is the case here. Point #3 - The AAF European Theater Bombing Survey called Dresden a "textbook case of overbombing". The British AND the Americans went...
  9. Tactical Nuclear War

    NATO ALWAYS had air superiority. Without it the USSR would likely have tried the Fulda Gap on more than one occasion. Decpaitation strikes are like drawing to an inside royal flush, it is possible, but you REALLY shouldn't bet the farm on it. The USSR always had a better chance thah the U.S...
  10. Tactical Nuclear War

    The pace of responses would likely be in stages of increasingly violent reaction. NATO had the idea that Tactical Nuclear Warfare, was, at some level, possible. NATO doctrine called for response in kind, 1st use was reserved for the end game, if NATO faced imminent collapse (which was not out of...
  11. Tactical Nuclear War

    Limited in Nuclear Weapons is similar to a little pregnant. Every Weapon that one side launches will get two in return (each sides has about 30,000 of them at this time period, so running out will not be a problem). The most likely scenario will show detonations spreading out from the...
  12. Trinity fails, Chrysanthemum succeeds

    Given the hatred that the American people had for the Japanese as a group in late 1945, before any of this happened, the answer is clear. Bomb anything that moves. Invade. Kill every human being that is foolish enough to show their face. Sow the arable ground of the entire country with salt...
  13. Tactical Nuclear War

    Between the major powers, Tactical Nuclear War is another name for End of the World, chapter 1. You MIGHT (I stress MIGHT) be able to get away with a single "Warning" launch from one, or even both sides, when one side is about to be pushed over the abyss, but beyond that... Game Over!:eek...
  14. M16 in Korea

    Be far better served to have the M-14 develop sooner. Much better for hand to hand or bayonet combat, both of which happened a LOT during the retreat from the PLA, excuse me, Chinese volunteers & during the static warfare from 51-53. It had an excellent rate of fire although it was much heavier...
  15. The Postman

    Did you, like, actually watch it, or did you just fast forward to the battle scenes? Even more important, were you wasted while it was on?
  16. Successful British Car Industry 2006

    British cars imported to the United States in the '60's used an electrical system that was the opposite of the one used everywhere else in the world. It drove American mechanics crazy. This made worse because the Lucas electrical systems that seemed to be the standard in the imports was junk...
  17. A10 Warthog-introduced in WW2.

    True. But then I don't get to take a shot at the old USSR! :D :p :D :p
  18. A10 Warthog-introduced in WW2.

    I thought it was the Frogfoot?:) Not at all. Coincidence is a wonderful thing. Reverse engineering is even better.:D
  19. A10 Warthog-introduced in WW2.

    No. I think you are describing the SU-25.:p (compare it to the A-9 prototype:eek: )
  20. Last of the Dogmen....sort off

    AK=Alaska!:) Even in Alaska it would be tough to find a group like posited. The parts of Alaska that are not already inhabitied by known Native American groups & are not already either hunted, fished, or been subject to geological survey, is very small & it is all badlands (Jackrabbits pack...
