Could the Allied Army win WW2 in a world with modern multi media ? While the publishers of newspapers says the story is a HOLD , multi media and web reporters peer out their windows onto the English countryside fallowing the night movements thousands of troops and hundreds of moving army trucks .The sounds of aircraft roar by . They are Tweeting and blogging along the way . Smart phones live stream video of thousands of ships in a massive armada moving away from English ports on D-Day morning. The tweet would simply say D-Day Today , Sailing Off To Kick Ass , On to Victory . World history would be completely different.
The War was going badly , the newspaper business and the intelligence community were in desperate times , the Allies were losing in Europe , Aug 1940 Britain battled for her very existence in a war it didn't start . The US attacked at Pearl in 1941 ,. The newspaper business and the new media of radio were telling heroic stories .They did their part keeping up spirits of those back home and war bonds were being sold . Eventually the Allies were victorious after a hard march on many continents .
Before we put ourselves into semi retiremnent and start publishing three days a week , let us remember we helped win a war . We helped loose a few too . If we do not find a way to lead no one will fallow.
