The British saved the world during the Battle of Britain. The “so few”.

Meanwhile, the American peoples’ desire to avoid war ended up costing 10’s of millions of lives.

The delay also increased the number of American casualties once America did enter the war.

Irony. War is bad and should be avoided. Delaying going to war against evil is very costly.

The left will never admit to this.

Interesting blurb about the Germans asking for the recall of 3 Americans from our embassy in Paris because they accused them of helping a British officer escape. (I’m guessing either a shot down flier or maybe a Brit who had gone to ground and escaped from a POW camp. At that time the usual thing was to get them over the border into unoccupied France and from there over the Pyrenees and into Spain.)
