re: #236 lawhawk

By the way, here’s an actual GW quote that is usually the basis for the modified and bogus quotes see elsewhere online:

PBS version.

And the original version as preserved by the Library of Congress’ Washington Papers collection.

Yale Law collection of annual messages.

So yeah, that’s how it’s actually written.

And it is obvious he is talking about things at a national level. That a *country* should have the ability to manufacture sufficient arms and powder, rather than be dependent upon imports from another.
