"Yeah. Sure. 'Operation Paperclip' worked out Fantastic for America and Americans. We are paying for that naïveté to this very day,"

Operation Paperclip was a secret United States intelligence program in which more than 1600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians were taken from former Nazi Germany to the U.S. for government employment after the end of World War II in Europe, between 1945 and 59.

Yeah, it just did horrible things for America....
