Sometimes myths come true
Y'know TB, your posts have a tendency to sound a lot like those little DOD commercials that pass themselves off as Vietnam War historical programs on the History Channel. You know, the ones that tell you how effective such-and-such a bomber was, or the exploits of some elite unit of GIs, or the account of some great military action where we kicked butt first and took names later. Unless you actually stay tuned until they roll the closing credits, you might never guess that despite all these heroics, we still did not get our way, and even though we didn't, it still didn't make any difference.
The dinosaurs had everything going for them too, but in the end, it was those furry little egg-snatchers that got the last laugh.
