lol, linked video 1: if u dont want to read skip to step 4 2: if u dont want to watch clip or read then scroll down and/or post an insult 3: u know those american flight demos? the ones where an announcer sez: "watch as captain davis demonstrates the f-xx's superior acceleration and the phenomenal skill of our airmen as he performs the (deep voice) 'thunder pass' in full afterburner" or "please rise as the usaf salutes the efforts of the coalition in iraq and afganistan with the (deeper voice) dedication pass" not really exciting to watch unless u are a big flag-waver or u like watching planes fly mostly in straight lines i usually say 'fuck that' and look up clips of su-xx or mig-29+ demos well heres a clip of a lockheed test pilot in an f-16 none of that patriotic baggage, just some french babble and a little music (u cant ditch all of the packaging i guess) 4: http://www.patricksaviation.com/videos/thefightercommunity/2981/

Strange how willingness and determination to end the Depression Era by switching paradigms; pay workers well and regularly, Allocate resources such that the Home Front population eat absolutely NO SAWDUST, maintaining a balance of fruitful labour, bread and circuses, whipping the Imperial Japanese and NOT enslaving or displacing them, whipping the Nazis and NOT enslaving or displacing them, feeding the post-war Japanese, Italians, French, British and a bunch of others I can't name [and might be wrong about]... Could be things ignored when disparaging the USA's efforst during those years. I don't know about afterwards, but I do know that during the 40s and for sometime after, the USA was a fuckin hero. Great picture. Oh yeah, many peoples were herois during that era, I know. But the USA was heroic in ways others couldn't afford to be. CIrcumstances and luck, yes, but good card players play the hands they are dealt.
