a soviet army of invasion occupies afghanistan, further threatening our vital interests in the middleast. america's defense strength is at its lowest ebb in a generation, while the soviet union is vastly outspending us in both strategic and conventional arms. our european allies, looking nervously at the growing menace from the east, turn to us for leadership and fail to find it. and, incredibly more than 50 of our fellow americans have been held captive for over eight months by a dictatorial foreign power that holds us up to ridicule before the world. adversaries large and small test our will and seek to confound our resolve, but we are given weakness when we need strength, vacillation when the times demand firmness. the carter administration lives in the world of make-believe. every day, drawing up a response to that day's problems, troubles, regardless of what happened yesterday and what will happen tomorrow. the rest of us, however, live in the real world. it is here that disasters are overtaking our nation without any real response from washington. this is make-believe, self- dec

but became clear is the six soviet armies into the attack because of the artillery support to tightenown. they betrayed the plans in advance. this is one of the most cynical, appalling, worthless acts of the whole history of warfare. 215,000 casualties, as many as the allies had in normandy and d-day combined. and stalin was referred to sacrifice that, just to make sure the stalingrad operation worked. in the far east, one of the things that shocked me the most was discovering the japanese had used cannibalism as an actual strategy. the killing of prisoners some locals are prisoners of war as well. and using them as human capital, soaking them one by one for me. this is actually a strategy when they were ordered to adapt self-sufficiency, when they've been cut off by the u.s. navy they didn't have any further supplies. it was also happening in china as well. in 1945 during the investigation and he is war crimes commission and american authorities discovered this was the case. they decided to suppress it and stay suppressed for a very long time for very good reason that those families

army. studebaker trucks are the backbone of the soviet logistic system during the second world war. hat's what enables us down, his army, enables them to go all across eastern europe to the gates of berlin, studebaker trucks. two and a half million machine guns, the process, many of them produced by companies that have never seen a machine gun before. companies like remington typewriter, national postage meter, rock ola, the gift box company based out of chicago which produced in one carbine under contract using design created by winchester. and then over 41 billion rounds of ammunition. outpouring just as knudsen promise and just like the one you could depend upon to bring the final victory in a war based on mass production. so, if we look at this overall accomplishment, amazing accomplishment, we have to ask ourselves, how did they do it? and visit the kind of thing the american economy can do again? i happen to think the question to the latter question is yes, but i also happen to think that if you look at the reasons why this took place in what happened, it begins to become clear

army. that's what -- studebaker trucks are the backbone of the soviet logistics system during the second world war. that's what enables stalin's armies to go all the way from stalingrad across eastern europe to berlin, studebaker trucks. two and a half million machine guns, in the process -- many of them produced by companies that had never seen a machine gun before. companies like, for example, remington typewriter, national postage meter, rockola which produced m-1 car pines under contract -- carbines under contract using a design created by winchester. and then over 41 billion rounds of ammunition. outpouring industrial just as knudsen had promised and just the one in which you could, in fact, depend upon to bring about final victory in a war based on mass production. so if we look at this overall accomplishment, this amazing accomplishment, we have to ask ourselves, how do they do it, and is it the kind of thing an american economy could do again? i happen to think the answer to the latter question is yes. i also happen too think that if we look at the reasons why this took place and why i
