It was interesting, but it took WAY too many words to make what I assume was the sole point, mainly because it was so repetitious. America = Abundance.

Captured Germans felt the same way. In the words of a German agent scouting out the US and travelling by train at the time he made the point - that it was foolhardy beyond measure to goad America into joining the Allies. He said that "America has wheat fields as big as Germany." The same point was made differently by a Western Front general: "Our tanks may have been worth 4 American tanks, but the problem was....they always had 5."
