5. Nothing to report huh?

I'm not saying that strategic bombing does not blow lots of shit up, I'm saying that it fails to achieve it's objective, to break the enemies will, to obtain a shortcut to submission, to shorten the war, and it wastes a shitload of money. The Nazis were still cranking armaments out at an alarming rate right up to when we occupied them. Dresden killed a lot of people, but it accomplished nothing militarily, it was revenge for London.
