Overthrowing oppressive regimes by military force

[Wyrd of Gawd]

 That's why we had the B29 ready to go when WWII started.

Another incorrect statement.  The B-29 didn't enter service until 1943.  WWII started in 1939.

I trust you're smart enough to do the math.

Wait, I'm not.  WWII started four years before the B-29 was, to use your own phrase, "ready to go".

I'm pretty sure you said something earlier in the thread about "blowing off your own legs". Is this something you specialize in?

The US entered WWII as a combatant on December 7, 1941.

Franklin D. Roosevelt 49 - Message to Congress on Appropriations for National Defense. May 16, 1940

"At this time I am asking the Congress immediately to appropriate a large sum of money for four primary purposes:

First, to procure the essential equipment of all kinds for a larger and thoroughly rounded-out Army;

Second, to replace or modernize all old Army and Navy equipment with the latest type of equipment;

Third, to increase production facilities for everything needed for the Army and Navy for national defense. For it is clear that we require the ability to turn out quickly infinitely greater supplies;

Fourth, to speed up to a twenty-four hour basis all existing Army and Navy contracts, and all new contracts to be awarded.

I ask for an immediate appropriation of $896,000,000. And may I say that I hope there will be speed in giving the appropriation.

That sum of $896,000,000 of appropriation I should divide approximately as follows:

1. For the Army $546,000,000
2. For the Navy and Marine Corps 250,000,000
3. To the President to provide for emergencies
affecting the national security and defense 100,000,000
In addition to the above sum of appropriations, I ask for authorizations for the Army, Navy and Marine Corps to make contract obligations in the further sum of $186,000,000.
And to the President an additional authorization to make contract obligations $100,000,000
The total of authorizations is, therefore $286,000,000

It is my belief that a large part of the requested appropriation of $100,000,000 and the requested authorization of $100,000,000 to the President will be used principally for the increase of production of airplanes, anti-aircraft guns, and the training of additional personnel for these weapons. These requests for appropriations and authorizations would, of course, be in addition to the direct estimates for these purposes in the other items that are requested.

The proposed details of the appropriations and authorizations asked for will be given to the Committees of the Congress."
