I have seen that photo before. I can think of LOTS of things I would rather turn loose in a jet cockpit than a pissed off cat.

For those of us that were born during the mid-late 40's, watched the world grow from that perspective, it serves our vision well for what is going on today in our country. That being, how could a country that stood so mightily among nations as a bastion of freedom and protections for the world have fallen so far in the eyes of the leftist while those like me watch in disbelief at their destruction of the society that was built.
Thank you dad and all of my uncles for what you did for me, my children, grandchildren and (one) great grandchild for saving the world during that most evil time.
You'll be fine, snowflake. What do you think the Russians think today? They did the bulk of the heavy lifting.

Schooner Wyoming, the largest wooden sail powered vessel ever built
Glass bottle used inside German Gas shells from WWI. The bottles contained the liquid part of the "Blue Cross" mix than when the shell exploded would mix with the other ingredients inside the shell and produce the gas
Handley Page HP 42. Introduced in 1930. Still holds the record for being the only civilian airliner to never have any loss of life throughout it's operational history.
"Goliath" remote controlled tanks from WWII
The Soviets had the same idea as the Germans. But instead of developing a remote controlled mini-tank, they just used dogs. This picture shows a test of this "weapons system".

A lot back then visicalc spread sheet programs, database programs, Games remember back then the average program was in the kb size not even MB. It's amazing what was done with such small amount. The programmers were real disciplined and made code as efficient as possible.

When I saw that picture posted, I thought "that doesn't seem like four people that would ever be in the same place at the same time."

I just read the entire article and it was really good and definitely worth it. There are a few stories in the article like meeting Sgt York and how he had to pull cactus out of the generals arse. I can't imagine all the stories you heard from him. You were lucky to have him as a grandpa.

Cabrinovic swallowed a cyanide capsule and jumped into the Miljacka river to make sure he died. However, the cyanide pill was expired and only made him sick, and the river was only 10 centimetres (4 in) deep.[25] A few seconds later he was hauled out and detained by police.
That dude fails at failing.

There have been many great threads on this board discussing WWII topics. The free world we live in today is a result of this optimal event in human history.
Anyone interested in WWII should read Kaplan's "Revenge of Geography". It helps understand some of the why of the conflicts of the past 1000 years. It reads like a college textbook but is great info.

Richard “The Iceman” Kuklinski is one of the most prolific contract killers ever to have worked for the Mafia. Having taken his first life when was just 13, he claimed to have personally committed as many as 250 murders.
Some FBI profilers consider him a serial killer who just happened to work as a hitman. They believe he would have been a prolific killer no matter his occupation.
