The politicians certainly have more information and there’s no doubt that FDR wants this done. As just a common citizen though, it looks very different. I’m sure this provided fodder for the America First Committee and the like, but I’m a bit surprised that there is not more public uproar that the British have it in hand. It makes me think that there was a general sense (and wisely so) by the bulk of the population that American involvement was simply a matter of time.
