Subject: World's Largest Army !
To:
True story and
most people will never know
it.
Here's an
interesting side bar. After the Japanese
decimated our fleet in Pearl Harbor Dec 7, 1941,
they could have sent their troop ships and
carriers directly to California to finish what
they started. The prediction from our Chief of
Staff was we would not be able to stop a massive
invasion until they reached the Mississippi
River . Remember, we had a 2 million man army
and war ships…...all fighting the Germans. So,
why did they not
invade?After the
war, the remaining Japanese generals and
admirals were asked that question. Their
answer…...they know that almost every home had
guns and the Americans knew how to use them.Theworld's
largest army... America 's hunters! I had
never thought about this....
A blogger
added up the deer license sales in just a
handful of states and arrived at a striking
conclusion:
There were
over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of
Wisconsin .Allow me to
restate that number.Over the
last several months, Wisconsin 's hunters became
the eighth largest army in the
world.More men
under arms than in Iran .
More than
in France and Germany combined.These men
deployed to the woods of a single American state
to hunt with firearms, and no one was
killed.That number
pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted
the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan 's
700,000 hunters,All of whom
have now returned home.Toss in a
quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it
literally establishes the fact
thatThe hunters
of those four states alone would comprise the
largest army in the
world.The
point?America
will forever be safe from foreign invasion with
that kind of home-grown
firepower.
Hunting --
it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a
matter of national
security.*************************************************
That's why
all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to
see us disarmed.Food for
thought when next we consider gun
control.
