Even on the Long March, he led a real army supplied by the USSR. It was that army that kept the Japanese off balance during WW II, and defeated the nationalists Chinese after WW II. Closet guns had nothing to do with it. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
