this we bailed you guys out in WW2 is getting rather old
it's not so simple as "myyy pappy came over there and rescued your pappy "
untill the Japanese made buddie's with Hitler , and said Japaneze gave you guys a bloody nose in Pearl, the US didn't do nothing for Europe other than giving loans and selling equipment.
That was the thing that worried the US gouvernement " Jerry's beating the Russians, and then joining up with the Jap's to form a truly dynamic duo with some serious manpower, equipment and hard core resolve "

i'll agree, it was a good move for the sake of the US, Europe and the whole world , but it wasn't the 123 here's superman to save the day.
and economically the US did make seriously well with WW2 aftermath,
you had the Brittish on a leash, kept them from developping certain technology , or confiscated the technology ( the UK would have had the first supersonic plane if they weren't ****canned from higher up, and the US wouldn't have gone supersonic so soon if it weren't for the English plan for the single piece stabilizer , to name one thing) and paying of the war dept...
