Another Anniversary

Lots of them this week. Today is the thirty fifth anniversary of the beginning of the Six-Day War.

I remember the jokes at the time. The Israelis had to wrap it up fast because they were renting their tanks from Hertz by the week…

And it showed how pathetic the Russian equipment was against ours and the Israelis’–particularly when operated by Arabs. It wasn’t all that great from the standpoint of marketing Migs.

And tomorrow will be the fifty-eighth anniversary of the Normandy invasion.
