I understand all of that (and I even understand that it was BM, not AH, but felt that such a reference would go right over his head) and my whole effin' point was that post-war UE in G was sort of . . . similar to this situation, and the argument/thesis/theme/crap I'm seeing is analogous to the premise that us entering WWII was fucked up because we left G with high UE. There were some other, maybe more important, considerations.
