    Sorry Joel :oops:

    Without a calculator or a spreadsheet at hand, I am just helpless with numbers.

    I used to be great with numbers, but that part of my brain atrophied with lack of use.

    The Greatest Generation, those guys were tough, and they were backed 100% by their Govt, Congress, Senate, News Papers.

    Can you imagine if todays climate existed how the New Yak Times would react to the D-Day Invasion? How many ex-generals with axes to grind would be on TV telling everybody how it really should be done.

    Now that I think of it the New Yak Times would have leaked the invasion plans before D-Day.
