[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [qb] So the Blitz was merely an "annoyance"? I'm sure Coventry will be thrilled. [/QUOTE]I think he was refering to US operations. Despite the US habit of playing down British involvement in the war; after all, we all know the US won WWII single handed, with no help whatsoever from the Commonwealth and Empire or anyone else :rolleyes: . I notice there are now textbooks for US schoolchildren that have WWII running from 1941-45. Not US involvement, but the entire war. And they wonder why we get pissed off with them. I would have dropped the first bomb certainly; the need for the second is more debatable (Basically, I agree with Masao's post above). [/qb][/QUOTE] Man, what are you talking about? is that really how you view the US? Anybody in the US that's ever watched an hour of History Channel (more properly called the WWII channel) would have Britan's role in WWII forever drilled into their skulls and etched on their retnias. I can recall documentaries on the british decoding the Enigma devices as far back as elementary school. I've certainly never seen any textbook refer to WWII as running only during US involvment and never anything that "downplayed" British involvment at all. Lose that chip on your shoulder: if [i]anyone's [/i]countries have their participation downplayed it's Australlia and Canada. They get zero credit...even in the movies. [/QB][/QUOTE]
