Some Things FDR Thinks Are Great, Not So Great, and Meh
- FDR pushes for more military weapons and other defenses.
- He reports that leaders of industry and labor have set goals for building up America's defenses. These goals are being reached ahead of time, on time, a little bit late, and super-duper late. This is both exciting and discouraging.
- FDR tells the Army and Navy their great progress isn't good enough for tomorrow's conflict.
- FDR is displeased. (You wouldn't like him when he's displeased.)
- Other people overseeing the progress of America's defense programs are also displeased.
- Nobody's going to be happy until the job is done…and has been done correctly.
