I tried, I watched probably 40minutes of night one and it was far too depressing for me presently. I do get a glimpse of what WWII wartime was like periodically here at work when its time to replace ball bearings in something. The bearing manufactures have a "direct supply" contract with the gov't. That is to say the gov't get first dib's on bearings or the gov't will take over plant and make their own bearings. With that in mind and how everything that turns or has a engine in it has 30 gazillion ball bearings in it. The gov't needs all the bearing they can get to keep the Hummers, Strikers, airplane and ships running. Should you need bearings you will wait a very long time or be sold Chinese ball bearings because the gov't doesn't want Chinese parts in their tanks for some reason. What a different world today.Brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919583240225677466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28235034.post-31773412330443846622007-10-01T16:44:00.000-04:002007-10-01T16:44:00.000-04:00What a fantastically wonderful piece of paper to f...What a fantastically wonderful piece of paper to find! It really does show a radically different time, huh? People would need to know ahead of time what to do not only because no one knew how crazy life would become but because they didn't have 9 thousand ways to contact the employees. I love that they were trying so hard to be so professional in a time that they knew everyone would want to just celebrate. What a fantastic glimpse into the past.chipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11063520094539344254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28235034.post-79544732768171199592007-10-01T16:10:00.000-04:002007-10-01T16:10:00.000-04:00I've been watching the Ken Burns documentary serie...I've been watching the Ken Burns documentary series also, and my thoughts mirror yours. This war now affects me very, very little. I know a couple people there, but I don't sacrifice for "our" effort. My contribution is nil. I don't follow any progress--there's none to follow. I don't feel pride--there's none to feel. What a difference.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.com
