You didn't actually correct or refute any facts, which makes me rather suspicious of your authenticity. Possibly you rephrased the semantics of 'stole' in the context of strong arming the enemy at the time.

It's common knowledge that many of Braun's team ended up at US defence contractors, it wasn't just military but also space exploration that benefited from their rocketry knowledge.

It's rather amusing to see someone purporting to be one of Jack's boys commenting on the "tinfoil" crowd, especially given that the article was about flying saucers... :)

Nothing I said wasn't already public knowledge, fwiw. A lot of this info is in Ben Rich's book, amongst others. My acknowledgement of Project Paperclip (which has been a dead horse beaten) pretty much refutes the "stole" part I was referencing. But maybe I've been reading too much about Apple vs. Samsung to know what the true definition of "stole" is, anymore.
