I'm happy to say, that in my life I was able to have many conversations with 2 WWII Vets. All those involved were just admirable people. What resolve, sacrifice, and determination. They are one of the reasons I say proudly, I'm an American!
Yep. My grandfather was a POW in the Philippines for 4 years. Survived the Bataan watch March. Starved. Beaten etc yet came home and had a great long successful life.
My father was in the 325 Glider Div. attached I think to the 82nd Airborne. Saw action in Europe from DDay to the VE day. Never talked much about it. My mother told me he had occasional nightmares that receded overtime and seem to end shortly after I was born in 1958. He was "old school" and fondly remember thank him for that. His no nonsense helped shape me into the man I became.
Man I hope people in the generations after the WW2 always are schooled on why they are where they are. This is when you really fight for survival. England was almost erased from the map forever. So much is the way it is now cause of these hero's. Hero's who volunteered to die after we were attacked. Makes me have non stop gratitude. Now it's so soft.
FDR was one of the greatest leaders of all history. He was equipped with both the vision and the means and used them. Prosocial peoples owe this man a huge debt of gratitude. FDR defined the modern age thankfully.
I hear people talk down about FDR. My dad was born in 1920. He would tell me stories about how rough that depression was, my mom was born in 1928. From the sounds of it her family was in same shape as dad's. To them Roosevelt was the man. My dad really liked him as president.

How grave the training situation was becoming is indicated by the report of 19 February 1941, when General Marshall was facing a new British request for 900,000,000 rounds of American-made ammunition. "We have had to reduce the amount of ammunition for training to about 60 percent" of requirements, he said to his General Council.50 He also confessed his anxieties over the Philippines defenses, and over Hawaii where "they have to be prepared against any surprise attack," to which he referred at two smaller conferences of this period. page 315 CHAPTER X Aid to Britain versus Rearming of America on line
@@mith2946 on point u r right i got your point listen gold only needs to sit there and holds its value unlike copper which needs to be in alot of places to hold it value if i give u 55 lbs gold and 55lbs copper i know which one u would struggle to fetch to sell first or which one u feel is worth it more

The US had the luxury of 18 months of peace to catch up with the axis that the European democracies didn't have as the Axis developed the determination to go to war years ahead of them. The war factories were able to ramp up under peace to get ready to go to war!

I am angry that US joined WW1 in 1917 and the war was 1914 to1918. They only joined WW2 after bombed in Hawaii. That was 3 years after the rest of the Allies had been fighting and getting bombed for almost 3 years. Do not dare to say US won the war! Ever!
You're right, the US didn't win the war alone. But our industry supplied it left, right, and center. One slogan could have been, "Never mind, we'll make more." British and Russian nations made stuff too, but also operated a lot of American-supplied material. "The arsenal of Democracy."

The US basically said : Let’s feed the poor UK and Russia then we will this War
Brilliant tactical attacking strategy.

Copper is still very expensive and extremely useful. In fact more useful than gold, so I'd take that as a compliment.

We attacked Germany first because they were more advanced.
Whose we? Germany was firstly attacked by the OTHER allies. The war in the air was already won. No longer any threat of invasion by Germany of the British Isles. This was all before America even joined the war effort.
@@brustar5152 "The war in the air was already won". Damn... that's some pretty good stuff you be smoking.
We attacked Germany first, because we had to ensure England remained. Without bases in England, it would be impossible to attack Germany.
FDR was the greatest President in modern times

WORLD FOR TRUMP
WAR is a terrible thing. Greatest is not a term that should be used.
It was Isenhower who came up with idea of attacking in Europe first.
War is always highly profitable for the international banksters. They profit from both sides.

There was no Russia in WW2.Some Russians fought for the Axis.
Except there was. The USSR was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, one of which was Russia.
