(US Merchant Mariners like me, were sunk right and left before we entered the war in trying to supply England) Then Hitler could have brought his whole military against Russia and won by not fighting a two front war. (I won't even mention our giving Russia a massive amount of military hardwear and supplies at the risk of American lives.) Australia was being bombed by the Japs and invasion was just months away when the US Navy stopped the Jap navy. US sailors and solders died so OZ could be free. Yes, the OZ solders did make a good stand against the Japs, but without US support (aircraft carriers), it was just a matter of a few months before they were cut off and starving. The US was caught with its military pants down in WWII (Roosevelt was an idiot!), but we have learned since then, but our politicians that run wars from the Whitehouse haven't, and I am embarrassed by their actions. Its past time for Americans to take back out government and with the rights the rest of the world have had taken away, we have the means. I hope I live long enough to see and/or take part in the big change. Remember, the Japs underestimated the Lazy Americans.
