There were also severe limits on what (and when) the press could report anything related to the war.
I'm guessing that irritated Hitler (and a few licentious, civil liberitarians back home), but thankfully the majority of folks realized that there was a threat bigger than a temporarily stifled press.
Were that war fought today, The New York Times would be reporting that we were developing an atomic bomb, while CBS's 60 Minutes was knocking on Robert Oppenheimer's door, demanding an interview, and CNN would be incorporating segments from both Dr. Goebels and Tokyo Rose into their daily broadcasts, while both ABC & NBC nightly ran lists of casualities (sometimes daily in the thousands), and interviewed German and Japanese civilians who were suffering under the oppressive Allied bombings.

... the Bush administration would be in charge of the American campaign, and that means Hitler would win quite easily in the end.

... America would invade Sweden instead of Germany, because it thought Sweden had WMDs.

We did have jets in WW2. We just didn't commit the Gloster Meteor to front line service because we didn't want to risk the engine falling into German hands. Analysis by the few folks that flew both Meteors and ME262's is that it would have been an interesting dogfight. The German plane had the better airframe and the British plane had better engines that you could over-run for longer without them blowing up or burning out.

constuctive criticism is part of maintaining a free republic; you admit yourself that we're passed that point

we will always have our differances, thats what we are about, but we should stand united in our country, that is what makes up mighty.
if you love your country, protect it; quit protecting the system which is covertly destroying out nationality. if you think these international elitists care about american sovereignty and rights(under God), then youre mistaken.. and have overlooked the obvious push (NAFTA/UN/G8 etc)towards a global government
Quote:
before 9/11, we have differances in the election and such, but right after 9/11, we put that aside and came together like we have always done. if you dont want to stand with us they go away, but dont stand in our home field and cuss us. that wont work, people can turn on you and will.
how prophetic is that.. 9.11 was engineered for that very purpose; to usher in the New World Order, and the purging of the old world

think of it like a high school football game, whos side are you on?? dont be a visitor and sit in the home stands and shout for the other team! hehe not excpet the response you are going to get.
youre either with the 'new' America, or your with the terrorists; that would explain the ongoing construction of FEMA concentration camps across America, in the event of 'the big one', or series of 'big ones', permantly ceasing our elected government, and ushering in the global police state that we're supposed to love out of patriotism
Quote:
so back to my first reply, GET OUT!!! go live in any other country you think you might be happy in!
GoodBye
God Bless the USA
you mean god bless Lucifer? ive got to leave, but take a look at our own capitol, which was literally designed around occult symbols(the washington obelisk, pentagram city layout etc)

You either missed the point of my post, or conveniently decided to ignore it.
Firstly, I was responding to Hero's post regarding the limitation of certain freedoms during war -- then mentioning that the press was also restricted (and rightfully so).
As Hero stated, "The exigencies of war require many sacrifices, including a little inconveniance of liberty today to ensure that liberty is around for all the tomorrows."
It's too bad the press of today haven't learned the lesson of history.
Secondly, the analogies were entirely accurate, (if not right on the mark), and all you would have to do is turn on any of those broadcast networks (or open The New York Times) on any given day to plainly discern as much. The press regularly reveals sensitive information, regardless of the lives it may cost. They unashamedly broadcast proganda produced by enemies of the United States. And they relish in reporting how many soldiers we've lost, and how many civilians have been inconvenienced, injured or killed by our actions.
As such, one doesn't have to surmise how the press may have acted indiscretely 65 years ago (if their liberties hadn't been curtailed at that time), when they are consistently doing so in the present.
Good effort at trying to misdirect everyone, though.
