As the old saying goes, the British were always willing to fight to the last American life.
Unfair.
In 1940 there weren’t too many Americans fighting. Proportionately the British played a much bigger fighting role and for longer.
By 1945 Britain was bankrupt and had lost an empire, all thrown away to fight the Nazis. The US emerged as the greatest power on earth and richer than God.
To imply that Britain shirked in the Second World War while the US did all the work is quite simply nonsense and it is unworthy of an American to say so.
By the way the people who said that about the British were people like Joe Kennedy and other Nazi-sympathizing isolationsists.
Thanks for the troops you sent in 1914 and 1939.
