Kyrosi, Satire. Of course gore and co would have been for WW2. But DDAY in retrospect was a great gamble with huge costs in men and material. If that war werent so clear and it was more like current times, perhaps there would have been war opponents who may have actually said such things if news was available real time as it is today, no? And the likely opponents in a muddled WW2 scenario would have been the isolationist, american first crowd associated with the right wing of the republican party. I found the article amusing. I think opponents of this war should put their opposition in context and not be nearly as knee jerk as they appear on this thread. I think we traded some posts last week where we both agreed that things were not as bad as being portrayed. And you were opposed to this war if i remember correctly while i was pro. And whats wrong with a little humor now and again to make a point? By the way i laugh at liberal parodies of bush as i did when chevy chase played ford and got many yucks at the satire and humor re: ronald reagan. Mike War opponents during WW2 were few and far between once the war began but pre-war there was a nativist, isolationist contingent vehemently opposed to our entry into the war.
