I hate this crap
I cried tears of joy when Hillary Clinton read Obama's nomination. Tears man. I knew it was made for tv manipulative bs setup crap, and still there I sat tears streaming down my cheeks.
Go figure.
Go figure.

Marston Mats
James Aalan Bernsen: Relics of War - Marston Mats
Shortly before WWII, American Engineers were looking for a way to quickly build roads, airfields and dozens of other projects with mass-produced materials that could be quickly brought to the front and assembled. In short, they were looking for the "legos" of infrastructure.
The solution they came to was Marston Mats - sheets of interlocking pierced steel planking that could be pieced together quickly. They could provide all-weather traction over mud in the South Pacific, Tundra in the Aleutian Islands, volcanic ash on Iwo Jima and Sand on Normandy. And once a flat base had been bulldozed by Army Engineers or Seabees, they could be laid down as the foundation of a temporary airfield.
