The OP argued that the Sherman was better not because it was more heavily armored with a larger gun that the Tiger, but that it was mass produced.
When it's the US sending 160,000 men into direct machine gun fire on D-Day , it's "superior logistics". When it's China in the Korean War, it's "human waves". I'm calling attention to nationalist language. Just like the US has "Billionaires" while Russians have Oligarchs.
You don't need to be a fan of Nazis to see hypocrisy. Maybe I watched too much MASH growing up.
NOW LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT if we can overwhelm the logistics required to feed those MG42s on the Atlantic Wall using young men’s chests in wave after wave of Higgins boats, that’s our victory and we won’t have your petty facts despoiling our jingoistic narrative.
It worked for us when used against us, and by god there’s no reason it shouldn’t work 79 years later in France.
