Actually FDR was almost as stupid as Hitler when it came to running the war. Instead of understanding that the USA's interests lay in the Pacific and not Europe, he kissed butt with Churchill and threw the bulk of our forces into Europe when we really needed them in the Pacific. We almost were pushed off Guadalcanal because of that type of BS, but luckily our Marines(then) were about as tough as any fighting force ever and managed to hang on despite the lack of food and other supplies. If they hadn't captured Japanese food supplies they would have starved.

FDR was our first communist president.

That’s for sure.

What’s your take on George Marshall? I have mixed feelings. Good for the Marshall Plan, bad on China.
