We didn't do much? We were your number one supplier of war material(lend lease)...you know...the stuff that allowed you to fight Hitler(this is not even mentioning the First World War) and kept him from squashing you like every other European country (principally naval resources). It was "your" war because you let it brew right in your own back yard....England and France pressed the Versailles Treaty because of hatred and revenge...and then appeased the madmen that resulted from it when they started on their warpath.

Uh, no. As soon as the "warpath" started (the invasion of Poland), we declared war pretty much immediately (on the same day, I think?). Sticking up for our friends and allies, see? Whereas the US hung around on the sidelines for a good two years. Even after Pearl Harbour was bombed, you still didn't declare war on Germany. They declared war on you.

America took so god damn long to get into World War 2 for political reasons, end of. Neither of the Presidential candidates dared it. We didn't care about that, our friends and allies were attacked so we jumped into the fray. America can't claim that.


I wouldn't say the warpath started with Poland...what about the Rhineland, Austria, and Czechoslovakia? Of course we didn't declare war on Germany...they hadn't provoked us(though we did have skirmishes on the North Atlantic...which strangely enough was because of the material we were shipping to your country).

Frankly I don't blame the US for taking so long to jump into the conflict with our friends and allies, we "jumped" into another conflict 20 years earlier...and all we got was the flu, a thank you card, and another war.

.besides we developed the MRLS without YOUR help


What? From what I understand it was developed jointly with several nations.

YOUR government isn't perfect....have a look at the American War in Vietnam......


You're right, our government isn't perfect, I will never claim it is. Vietnam was one of those circumstances where we jumped "into the fray" to help our allies.
