I think a lot of these guys here would have opposed Lend Lease.

Concur; a evil and corrupt generation; not a great fan of movies, but some really get the point across. The Great Escape was based on a true story. Those pilots were made of a different mettle. They did not risk their lives for wealth.

The wealth of a nation is not truly measured by the wealth it gathers up in its barn or squanders on self indulgent and riotous living, but by righteousness. Greed, avarice, and wickedness pervades the nation now, a nation that murders its own children by the millions. It was never about money, the blessings of which always come from God.

“....Lend Lease”

In 1940, Great Britain ran out of dollars to buy US weapons as I understand things.
