Thank God for our Canadian cousins.:thumbsup:

March 11, 1941 - President Roosevelt signs the Lend-Lease Act.

What did I say about seeing dollar signs ?

July 26, 1941 - Roosevelt freezes Japanese assets in United States and suspends relations.

Dec 7, 1941 - Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor; Hitler issues the Night and Fog decree.

United States and Britain declare war on Japan.

Maybe we should've followed Americas example and stayed neutral.

Jan 13, 1942 - Germans begin a U-boat offensive along east coast of USA.

Jan 26, 1942 - First American forces arrive in Great Britain.

My mistake in giving them more credit than they were due , I thought they came over in late 41 (we all make mistakes)

I still believe that the US had it not been attacked would never have gotten involved and the lend/lease was a complete betrayal since it put dollars ahead of everything.

Now please tell me again how we should all be gratefull to America ??
Just to fair here, Britain did fight Germany to a draw in the battle of Britain, in British built "spitfires" however in 39-41 America did supply England with massive amounts of war material through the "Lend Lease" program, which was a euphemism for "giving it" to England.

Also American Merchant Marines supplied England with everything from butter to pencils to underwear. From 39-41 England was doing the fighting but they had a lot of help from their friends. There are many ways to "help" your friends during war time.

Many historians say England wouldn't have been able to fight Germany to a draw and there by force Hitler to postpone his invasion of England with out the materials shipped to it by America.

Should you be grateful, how about historicaly honest, giving a little credit where credit is do.
Ozarks Reviewed by Ozarks on . Isreal and American support for violence. I hate hypocrisy and it would seem to me that the US is guilty as hell right now. The US goverment says "We want a ceasefire in the Middle East" but then they are still supplying Isreal with weapons. Am I the only one who believes that if America wants peace in the east they should not supply anyone with weapons? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=397838&in_page_id=1811&in_page_id=1811&expand=true Rating: 5
