Reply #29: They way things really happened. [View All]

The simple fact is that history only barely happened the way it happened during the Battle for Britain.

The reason why the British won the air war had nothing to do with the exceptional abilities of the British Air Forces. It was, instead, a tactical blunder on the part of the Germans - they switched from hitting military targets to civilian ones.

If they had not made that mistake, the British Air Forces probably would have been destroyed, leaving the country extremely vulnerable.

If you want to plan for future strategies, you must speculate about what might happen in the future.

Our founders included the second amendment in our Constitution because they speculated about what might happen should the people ever need to revolt against their government again, as they had had to do.

Those who do not ponder the possibilities of the past and future are simply walking blindly through life accepting whatever comes.
