During the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 that started with the
Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and ended with the Surrender
of Germany and Japan in 1945, the U.S. Produced;
22 aircraft carriers,
8
battleships, 48 cruisers,
349 destroyers, 420 destroyer escorts,
203
submarines,
34 million tons of merchant ships,
100,000 fighter aircraft,
98,000
bombers,
24,000 transport aircraft,
58,000 training aircraft,
93,000 tanks,
257,000 artillery pieces,
105,000 mortars,
3,000,000 machine guns,
2,500,000 military trucks.
We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed
services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, won 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's worth noting, that during the almost exact amount of time,
the Obama administration couldn't build a functioning web site.
