About this episode
*Language warning on this show! We are being told that the US munitions supply is so low that it can take up to 18 years to replenish some of it. I'm calling BS and citing the real America as evidence. At the beginning of WWII, America went from no ammunition industry after WWI to creating the "Arsenal of Democracy" that not only supplied US forces in WWII but also supplied the allies. Let's get into the deeper reasons why we are being told it takes years to make ammunition.
*Correction! The author of Arsenal of Democracy is "Donald" Nelson--not David Nelson.
