Chapter 108
By December 8th, about three million Yanks had enlisted,
2Which made it all the more important to remember where the army was,
3Which took about another eight or nine months,
4Because the truth was, in all the excitement of the depression and everything,
5nThe Yanks had scrapped most of their military,
6oOr lent it to the Brits,
7Except for the pPacific fleet, of course,
8Which was mostly sitting at the bottom of Pearl Harbor,
9qThanks to those nodding, smiling little barbarians in Japan,
10Who were going to get a big lesson,
11aIf there was any place left in the South Pacific to fight over by the time the Yanks had built some more war stuff,
12Which they were doing,
13In a big way.
