There have always been Americans that disagree, part of the point of our system is protect those that do. There are Americans that fought for the Taliban and support Al-Queada, does that somehow diminish the efforts of the police and firefighters that died on 911?
And I suppose you call selling battleships to the British for $1 a piece staying out of it. Sure we hadn't sent any troops yet but without our financial backing both England and Russia would have fallen.
As for the great mistake of fighting on two fronts, hello jackass, that's exactly what we did (ever heard of Japan?)
The only way the Russians won on their front was by forcing so goddamned many of it's people to jump into the meatgrinder that it eventually got jammed.
By saying that Americans won the war I don't mean that we won it all by ourselves. We probably couldn't have (except in the Pacific which is exactly what we did) But saying the Nazi's still would have lost without our involvement is assinine.
Well, I would hate for Gen-X to turn out like the depression generation. They only won WWII, had A huge hand in rebuilding Western Europe and Japan into stable democracies, and among many other great works put a freaking man on the freaking moon. I only hope that Gen-X has been "set-up for failure" just as much as the depression generation.
I've read somewhere that the Hebrew word for day used in Genesis can also be intrepreted as a much longer period of time than just one day. It can be used to mean an age (like the Stone Age). Sort of like the saying "Back in my day."
