But now for some facts.
As a US Citizen and Vet living most of the year in Europe, I understand the WW II battlefields far better than you will ever. I understand how multiple Allies directly caused the loss of France in 1941 (not that France did not have blame).
I understand that Russia caused 4 out of 5 German casualties during the War.
I understand how in the 10 largest battles in the European Theater, America was not a participant.
I understand the largest battles on the Western Front and the amount of casualties in them, were normal weekly levels on the Eastern Front from late 1942 onward.
In short, I know much of what is taught in grade school history is propaganda regardless of which country you attend school in.
So, bash away. I care not if ignorance is your chosen method to go through life.
Just because you don't know, please don't drag us down to your level.

Honestly, mon ami, you fail to see the sarcasm in my post. I am 45 and little new to the ways of forums. Tone often fails one with the written word. And my profession is not a "writer." Your concerns are well stated. As a gentleman, I believe you will accept my forgiveness?
Listen, I just finished Norm Davies(I believe) "No Simple Victory." It echos many of your points about WWII participation. The US was NOT involved in the major victories. But no sane person would deny that the US helped break the back of the German war machine. But let us save this topic for another day.
I just find it strange that anyone could say with certainty that their life has a certain timeline and when it goes, that they could care less. And I know that you care about your life. Your post was just a bit "out there." I believe it is human nature to care about you and yours, and that is what I was trying to point out.
And ignorance? Like fear, ignorance is basically rooted in a lack of knowledge. As a car guy, you will know what I am talking about, perhaps?
EDIT: I see now that sarcasm is to be in green. Duly noted.
