The only people we thoroughly defeated were the Germans, and that was under a Democrat president.

Well, Japan too. But I take your point. The thing is (as I never learned in American history in high school or college) that in WWII, the left was more or less on America's side (fancy that!) because we were against Hitler, who committed the unforgivable sin of betraying the sainted "Uncle Joe."

Sorry, I meant Japan, too, but I was just thinking of WWII in general. Your point is well taken, however; many Dems and leftists did support the war effort primarily because Stalin was being attacked. Maybe they'd support the US now if France were being attacked...(well, by more than a few thousand teenage thugs every Muslim holiday).
