Yeah, bring back the Garand...it worked before.
One possible senario would be the North Koreans attacking the South, followed immediately by the long-awaited Chicom invasion of Taiwan. In that case, we might just have to evict the Chinese, either from the whole island, or to dislodge any foothold they might have gained.
Has "our" government ever brought back any weapon or system as opposed to spending millions(billions?) on a new one to do the same job(sometimes not as well)?
First, none of these were "brought back". They were just still in service.Korean War - M4E8 Sherman, F-51 Mustang, F4U Corsair, B-29 Superfortress, B-26 Marauder, M-1 Garand, 1911 pistol, C-47
Vietnam - T-28 Trojan, B-26 Marauder, A1 Skyraider, 1911 pistol, C-47
It will probably morph into Commu-Capitalism.

Second, the Martin B-26 Marauder was retired after WWII. I think you are referring to the Douglas B-26 Invader.

The M1 Garand was not just the main battle rifle of ALL US services in 1950 - it was the only battle rifle. All the other Korean War examples were active service, too. Same for the VietNam examples, with the possible exception of the C-47 not being a front line cargo plane. No, I really don't think this is a matter of semantics at all.You are quite correct on the second point. The first I would argue is a matter of semantics - does the fact that some honor guards use M1 Garands or '03 springers mean that if the army started using them, they wouldn't be "brought back"?
And I think you are referring to the A-26. The Invader was an attack plane.I think you are referring to the Douglas B-26 Invader.
I'm pretty sure it's the same plane.And I think you are referring to the A-26. The Invader was an attack plane.
I hope you're not referring to the United States, because then the statement would be quite rediculous, in the extreme.On the other hand, the PRC is still human rights abuser who is only rivaled by its main trading partner (you all can guess which country...you're probably there...)
