Which bit is skewed? That we declared war on Germany in 1939? That France declared war on Germany in 1939?
Just because we took a pasting in '39, doesn't mean we weren't there. And just because we were there for the first two years, doesn't mean that we don't appreciate the sacrifice made by the US in the last four years.
The Brits much preferred living on their knees, the Frogs would become whores for the Germans. Churchill called it right long before the Brits had the gall to admit it and plead with him to save them. Shameful lot. Course that was expected of the the cowardly frogs.
