I think the political infighting was just as bad in the "old days", it's simply been erased by our rose-colored glasses. Recall there was a very strong isolationist movement pre-WW2, Roosevelt was pillored for trying to drag America into another bloody war in Europe, even Lend-Lease was heavily opposed.
Have not read much about after WW2, but it hardly compares to the current situation - if all the terrorists and rogue state governments line up on a battleship and sign unconditional surrenders (or commit suicide in their bunkers), then maybe you could draw a parallel . . .

Concluding what? Drawing what parallels? I was asking for insight from some one who could offer some. I was asking questions. I was wondering what it was like post-WWII and said right away that I am too young to know.
My older relatives and acquaintances that lived through those times tell me there was none of the post-action political infighting we see today. I was attempting to draw out anyone here, on the board, who was around at that time out to see what they thought. So please don't tell me to "do some historical research before concluding this"; that is exactly what I was trying to do.
