72. Who said it's gotta be China or Russia?

Think about it...in early 1930s, Germany wasn't a threat. By 1939, it was a huge threat. The world changes, threats change, sometimes they change rapidly.

Sitting around saying "awww, it'll never happen" got us in trouble many times before. We got our butts handed to us for the first 2 years or WWII because our military was sorely outdated, old and obsolete, and we just let the other countries that "weren't a threat" sail right past us. How many people said "awww, we'll never fight the Japanese...that's ridiculous"?
