WORLD'S LARGEST ARMY


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.

The world'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 that the 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.

If it's called "Common sense," why is it so Rare?
