<<One way to jump start an economy is to gear up for war.>>
That's a pretty cynical comment that millions of American boys would be sent to war for the purpose of lifting an economy ...... Sadly it is also a realistic one.

sleeping tiger>> My Dad thought that the "sleeping tiger" which was awakened [and in his opinion the "Tiger" that won the war not only in the pacific but in the European theater as well ] was the industrial power of the American economy. The auto and aircraft giants [ and others ]of America responded by switching over to a war time footing and began turning out war machinery at a pace and quality that the world had never before seen.Of course they were not subject to bombing....
