“British soldiers paid for that equipment in blood”
Yes but the US Army paid in blood as well. In November 1944 there were 2.6 million American troops on the western front and 0.95 million British/Canadian troops. That means 73% of the allied troops on western front in November 1944 were American.
“The cash was paid back in full with interest in 2006”
Like I said, only 23% of it was paid back from the UK. The rest was written off.

I never suggested anything else, nonetheless lend-lease was created to defend America, not Britain. Between 1939 and December 1941 pretty much 100% of the troops were British and commonwealth. . . . . .
