Now you are bordering on the bizarre. More than any other country, the US came out if WWII stronger in every way, economically, militarily, etc than any other country on the planet. By far.
And FDR was nobody’s lap dog.
We won it because we "won" the right to support the rest of the world and have our own country flooded with European socialism and sleaze?
All the things Freepers like to hate today, can be traced back to World War II.
You don't like globalism? The United States "won" the right to support West Germany, Japan, United Kingdom, the United Nations, and more than half the other countries around the world. Does that sound like Victory to you? Because it sounds a lot like a defeat to me. And only three those countries were ever grateful to the war. At most. You should only count that as a victory if you think the United States should support all these countries and get almost nothing for it.
And all they social issues you might hate, and the revising of the Constitution? Where did all that come from? It came from Europe at the end of World War II.
You can use Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead in 1948 as a jumping off point.
I love this country, but I can't help but see how WWII womped us good.
