So, with sensitive APC shells, cracked AP shells and volatile cordite stored in bags stacked in magazine lobbies to increase speed of fire, could the outcome of this battle actually have been much, much worse if Scheer had not turned away and the British failed to find him effectively overnight?
If an unfriendly power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.
