THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - SOME INTERESTING STATISTICS FROM WORLD WAR II

During the 3 1/2 years of World War II that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and ended with the surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, the US produced 22 aircraft's, 8 battleships, 48 cruisers, 349 destroyers, 420 destroyer escorts, 203 submarines, 34  million tons of merchant ships, 100,000 fighter aircraft, 93,000 tanks 257,000 artillery pieces, 105,000 mortars, 3 million machine guns, and 2,500,000 military trucks.
 
We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, when the battle for the Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day, marched across the Pacific and Europe, developed the atomic bomb, and ultimately conquered Japan and Germany.
 
It is worth noting that during the almost exact amount of time, the Obama administration couldn't build a functioning website.
