BF2S Forums How true is this statement?

About as true as it goes in any war.

Americans were not morally behind WWII until Japan attacked the US.

Americans were not morally behind WWII until Japan attacked the US.

And should they have been?  We entered at a good point in time.

We waited till the Germans had worn out a lot of their forces and until the Japanese began to stretch themselves thin.  In the meantime, we were building up our own military.

We timed our involvement very well.  I can't say the same for Iraq.

So wait till we are attacked?  Good idea.

Just to clear it up, Germany declared war on the US, not the other way around.

Some of us like to be proactive.

Thankfully that's a minority and the debacle of Iraq means that trust in the US government will be low for the forseeable future, thus making taking such actions again less likely/doable.

Another word for that is "bellicose."

Besides, as long as you have the right domestic defense and security protocols, you can minimize the chance of an attack without firing a single missile.

Doubt it dude. 


And you are smart enough to know that.

I'd say you weren't worth fighting for, but I took an oath to defend you, and so did all the other living and dead Marines, Airmen, Sailers and Soliders. So don't worry about it, we got your back dumb ass, which leads me to my next thought... I'll say this again, the US Constitution gives you the right to be a moron.
If you knew anything about history you would also remember that over 80% of the American populace thought that the Nazi Party, with Hitler, was a good Ally in Germany in the Late 1930's.
