[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] NKVD; charming individuals. [QUOTE] Man, what are you talking about? is that really how you view the US? [/QUOTE]Yes. The sheer quantity of crap that is pumped over here, especially from Hollywood has certainly contributed to this- Pearl Harbor, U-571, Saving Private Ryan, etc, etc. Then there's the number of Americans, both in the UK and in America who have made comments about the UK being effectively irrelevant to the war effort. The constant bleating from you politicians about how we (and the Europeans) should do whatever the US tells them because 'we won the war.' Yes, the US was vital in the war effort and in all liklihood we would have ended up with a Nazi or Soviet Europe (neither terribly attractive propositions) without US aid but it just gets a bit much. I suppose I should've learned to live with it by now. [QUOTE] I've certainly never seen any textbook refer to WWII as running only during US involvment [/QUOTE]That's a new thing; there was an article in the Times about their introduction. I've read US books that belittle British and Imperial contributions. [QUOTE] if anyone's countries have their participation downplayed it's Australlia and Canada [/QUOTE]Not over here. They came when we asked for help, in both wars; without them, we would've been screwed, especially in 1940. the Poles and Czechs, too. [/QB][/QUOTE]
