From The Germans in Normandy.
ALT The time was now shortly after 5 a.m. For four hours, Werner Pluskat and his men had peered through the darkness and seen nothing. But now night was slowly becoming day. ‘As the first grey light of dawn began to creep across the sky, I thought I could see something along the horizon.’ Pluskat grabbed his binoculars and swept the horizon. ‘I saw that the horizon was literally filling with ships of all kinds. I could hardly believe it.’ Stunned, the artillery officer passed the binoculars to a colleague in the concrete command post. ‘Take a look,’ Pluskat told him. He did. ‘My God, it’s the invasion.’

My great uncle. Killed in action on January 27, 1945 in the Battle of Luzon.

"Best you can say is they stayed out of the way."
A president and Congress that can stay out of the way? That's a monumental achievement.

Nearly all 1990s deficit reduction was:
1) Defense savings following the cold war.
2) A temporary tax revenue bubble driven mostly by tech stocks.
President Clinton & the GOP Congress had almost nothing to do with these factors. Best you can say is they stayed out of the way

I still can't get over the advances in treating cystic fibrosis. Boomer's contributions to CF research and visibility outshine his football skills by orders of magnitude.
