During WWII, we were able to put functioning Coca-Cola plants within 48 hours in many places. Said plants had 'Coca-Cola Colonels' as managers, with pseudo-military rank in order to allow them to build and function without being buggered by local military control.

Also during WWII German high command found out are soldiers were getting cake. They knew they were losing then.
ReplyDeleteTrue, true. They will still get your order wrong, but they will be there.
