As I understand it, the country was fairly well unanimous in the necessity of defeating Japan. The war in Europe was deja vu all over again, not much enthusiasm on that part of it, at least relatively.

If I remember my reading, it was Tom Dewey running against Roosevelt in '44, and he considered raising some questions about what US intelligence knew about Pearl Harbor prior to the attack. He was dissuaded privately from doing so in the interests of national unity in time of war.

There was a post on Freerepublic not too long ago that talked about George Marshall peronally interviening with Dewey about some intel information. The gist of it was that Dewey played along for the sake of the war effort. He did not jepordize our intelligence success for his political gain.

Thanks for the info.

I didn't know Lindburgh came around so completely, but I guess there's a lot about him I didn't know, but have recently found out!

But seriously, I'm glad to see the nation pulled together better in the 40's, but in all honesty I think I was hoping to hear it was all a mess, like it is now.

I thought after 9/11 that we were united, now I see that the Democratic party has become so corrupted by the leftists, and the Clintons, that they are willing to risk western civilization's destruction at the hands of the Islamofacists rather than stand together with the Republicans.

But, I actually think it goes beyond this. I think the Islamofacists, either through design or dumb luck, are exploiting the existing fronts in the culture wars.

Sometimes I wish I could just shut off my brain.
