"If Solon thinks that we just played a limited role in WW2 in Europe, he should go back to high school history"

That won't happen.

I said it was debatable whether the U.S. pulled an appropriate load during the BEGINNING of WW11. I was being polite. I withdraw the remark in light of your reckless hubris.

I find it unfortunate that Japan and Germany had to declare War against the States before the U.S. would join the allied forces. That was something like 2 1/2 years after the allies started fighting in a battle that would cost 50,000,000 lives?

Here are the losses. Note the Soviet Union losses of 23,000,000 versus a combined 1,000,000 for U.S., Britain, and Canada? And THEY stopped the Germans from overpowering a country rich in resources and geographic influence.

So instead of making mocking references to high school--perhaps we should appreciate that war is Hell and that all those whom fought and died were heroes.
