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 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,
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, 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.
