This reminds me of one of those ridiculous conversations we've all been in
at one time or another. Someone asked me what is the most fearsome weapon in
the U.S. arsenal? After a moment to calm myself down from saying what a
stupid question, I answered,

    "A sacred 19 year old with a M-16"

Which reminds me of a ridiculous conversation where a high-ranking officer
(general grade) was expounding upon how the U.S. could win a war with China
(we were talking about a land war). I kept my mouth shut for a LONG time and
then added one short comment at the end.

    "How can we win a land war with a country that could lose a million
    people a day for a year and still have more people then our entire
    pre-war population?"

Oh well, enough for the memories.

Regards,
Joe
