In 1943, during World War II, the U.S. Army Air Forces bombed the factories in Schweinfurt, Germany which produced the ball bearings necessary for the production of German aircraft, tanks and trucks. Knocking out a component vital in the production of the machines needed by the German military helped bring Germany to its knees. Pretty simple logic.
Every day on the news we see ISIS or ISIL or Al Queda or Hamas or whatever they are calling themselves driving around the desert in pickup trucks with “warriors” in the beds of the trucks or large machine guns mounted in the back like mini-tanks. Notice anything about those trucks?
Now we’re probably not going to reactivate the B-17 Flying Fortresses of the US Eighth Air Force to bomb Toyota truck plants throughout the world but it might be a good idea to tell Toyota that their continuing supply of trucks and truck parts to the Middle East will not be tolerated as long as those vehicles are being used to mechanize the terrorist armies.
There must be someone at Toyota who remembers an ally of Germany who had its factories destroyed during World War II.
