When the link says youtu.be, some browsers will flag that as "dangerous". Most browsers recognize youtube.com. Grabbing the URL from the "share" button in YouTube should work, but not on all browsers, especially with certain varieties of security software.<br /><br />Bottom line, youtube.com is usually recognized as "safe" - youtu.be, not so much.<br /><br />At least that's my experience.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-72442809078161654682015-07-06T09:15:22.122-07:002015-07-06T09:15:22.122-07:00That's what I get for copying from their site....That's what I get for copying from their site.(not necessarily your) Uncle Skiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705753220273516841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-78631492972087464052015-07-06T07:48:47.652-07:002015-07-06T07:48:47.652-07:00And that, my friend, is indeed the moral of the st...And that, my friend, is indeed the moral of the story.<br /><br />You can have good equipment and good troops, if your tactics and will aren't up to snuff, you lose.<br /><br />Napoléon did say that "the moral is to the physical as three is to one." Of course he said it in French and he meant that the guts and mental stuff in warfare is three times as important as the hardware. I wonder how that works for drones (he said, thinking of Tuna).OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-5785256538399175392015-07-06T06:58:55.587-07:002015-07-06T06:58:55.587-07:00The Brits did a lot of goofy things, and the Spitf...The Brits did a lot of goofy things, and the Spitfire was one of the goofy things that worked out. Very pretty. Iconic. Few will argue the spit is the most visually aesthetically pleasing fighter ever produced.<br /><br />Another goofy thing was the way they fought the BEF in '39 and '40. Hitler was right to be cautious, because the Frogs and the Brits had everything they needed to clean the Wehrmacht's clock. Everything except sound tactics, and in the case of the French, courage and resolve.PrairieAdventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466447251827774900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-37040108598840794752015-07-05T10:04:19.635-07:002015-07-05T10:04:19.635-07:00Good point B, but still, it is a Spitfire.
