Thread Name: BS: American bashing
Subject: RE: BS: American bashing
I haven't been watching too many hollywood movies. Evidently, I have actually been reading too much history to be able to rationally converse with many of you. The simple fact is that Americans turned the tide of World War One and World War Two in Europe. To expand the point that I zinged Boab with, the Russians did so well against the Germans because Americans were sending them massive amounts of aid as well. You folks can spin it any way you want, but the fact is that if wasn't for us crappy Americans a lot of you would be speaking German. And many of you seem to conveniently forget that we pretty much single handedly won the war in the Pacific. If it wasn;t for us, there would probably be a lot of Brit POWS dying of old age in Japanese prison camps in Malaysia today. So, if you want to blindly follow the fashionable trend of criticizing Americans, go ahead. If you keep repeating the mantra long enough, you might be able to actually convince yourself that your not full of shit.
