Amphibious Assault

  







 Landing your troops on a shore heavily defended by 

your enemy - a suicide mission more often than not.








Pearl Harbor reset the stage when it provoked the world's 

industrial giant into the war.









America had to transport its troops across thousands

of miles of ocean to take it to its enemies.








 You better know what you're doing when you 

set off to war or have your head served on a 

platter in just some plain field of nothing.









Be smart about it.  What best works always costs less

than the purchase of status or nostalgia.







 Dieppe.  There were problems in the planning.

This is what 'learning from experience' can look 

like.  Next up would be an American assault on

the beaches of North Africa.  They didn't yet

know what they were doing.  God help us.
