67. The answers to my qs are "The Pentagon had very little to do with raising an army to fight Hitler."

And "World War II is almost nothing like the wars we've fought since then."

Funny, I asked you two questions about your Reply 14 and you chose to answer neither one.



Slay posted something like " I hate the Pentagon and all it stands for."

Given when the Pentagon actually started business, the Pentagon had nothing to do with raising an Army to fight Hitler. You instead went immediately to the one war in our country's history that almost everyone would agree was a necessary one.

My problem with your reply was that "the Pentagon and all it stands for" had very little to do with raising an Army to fight Hitler.



"If history was excluded - that limits it to only Obama's Pentagon, his appointees at the moment of the post."

? I never even implied that you should have limited your response to the Obama administration. To the contrary, my second question went to every war after WW II because those are the wars where "the Pentagon and all it stands for" were more involved.

"If there are people here who detest anything military - I've been through that before. Just don't expect the USA to agree with you."

I said nothing of the sort. I asked you two questions about your own post. In fact, even the poster to whom you were replying did not say anything about hating all things military.
