He sure been trying by any means to attacked little old me ever since I prove long ago that his claims that the US was just pocketing the empire money and letting others died before Pearl Harbor happen not to be true.
That we did indeed lose ships and men in the ice cold Atlantic Ocean before Pearl Harbor supporting them.
If I'm a lair, what beast dwells within?
What a lot of bollocks you spout. You seem to be of the opinion, based purely on your subjective reading of WW2, that your garbled nonsense must be treated with reverence by everyone from our side of the pond.
America entered WW2 because of Pearl Harbor not out of any altruistic desire to save 'Merry Old England.' America acted in its interests throughout and
sold munitions food etc to the UK, at first for cash on the nail, and later for landlease which has been paid back. America did make a tidy sum, but Hitler was as big a threat to the American way of life at he was to the security of the UK. It was in America's interests to stop the UK making peace with Nazi Germany.
If America had purely been interested in saving 'Merry Old England' it would have got involved in 1940. As for American servicemen/seamen dying before Pearl Harbor, the sea is a dangerous place, people do die there, even in peace time. Your figure of about 200 fatalities from the invasion of Poland to the bombing Pearl Harbor is really very tiny, especially when compared to allied losses in the same period, or shooting in America in 2010.
Quote: In 2010 there were 358 murders involving rifles. Murders involving the use of pistols in the US that same year totaled 6,009, with another 1,939 murders with the firearm type unreported.

Btw I don't object to America acting in its own interests, I object to slobbering idiots like you, who think you deserve some recognition for events you took no part in.
In any event this is just your feeble attempt to wrap yourself in the flag, because you can't deal with the issues at hand.
