Its been getting on my nerves for a while. I don't mind Americans all that much, and like to read or hear what they have to say. But, i have had a gut full of reading about this myth that America saved the world in ww1 and ww2. Its a myth that is very widespread- especially with this whole anotagonism towards the French. They were part of a conglomerate force during these conflicts. It should be noted that they have recieved certain flack for not opposing Facism until late on in the war (WW2). And yes, they did drop a big bomb on Japan's civilian population, but the war was already grinding to a horrible halt. For the record, my pop, who faught with the Yanks had nothing but praise for them and thier conduct Im just tired of reading romanticised History.
