I’m the “Grumman made mail trucks and from a societal impact perspective, they’re more useful than the F-14 ever was” kinda military historian.
People don’t like that kind of military historian.
I’m also a “the only thing the german military industrial complex produced of note in WWII was this” kinda military historian.
"What do we do with all this shit we built to shove paratroopers up Hitler's ass?"
"Dunno, man, dunno. What if we juuuust... invent low-cost domestic air travel?"
"Oh yeah. All those pilots, too."
"Yeah! It's basically a public service at this point. We can give them little dry sandwiches, too!"
Prettycool, prettycool.
