@hughhewitt Hugh, blacks engage in violent behaviors that often lead to fatal encounters with the police. For example, blacks commit homicide at about 8 times that of whites. Once you adjust for violent criminality, the stats are easily understood.
@FakeDanWeber @MattZeitlin No, but the point is that the French navy was completely useless against the Germans. The Maginot Line was not useless, but the French had many other problems.
@FakeDanWeber @MattZeitlin IIRC, The basic problem on men and materiel as that the French severely underfunded/understaffed their military. They eventually realized this, but it was too late. Maginot Line per se was not the big problem.
@FakeDanWeber @MattZeitlin Point is that the navy was useless against the Germans. Also, the French never adequately funded and manned the Maginot Line.
@FakeDanWeber @MattZeitlin "A.Horne claimed that the French Army atrophied because of the Maginot Line.Yet the Maginot L fitted well into Franceβs overall defensive strategy because its presence did deter the Germans from attacking directly into Alsace-Lorraine, which is what it was intended 2 accomplish."
