I agree with you. My initial impression based on the title and the excerpt did not last after I actually read the article. He brought up some really interesting points. I am proud of what our country and the Allies did in WWII, but enough time has passed that we should be able to look back with a completely objective mind for the sake of history.
Their was no appeasing Hitler and he had to be destroyed. Hitler was going through Russia and would soon reach the oil fields in Iran. Hitler was then going to meet up with Japanese Forces in India. In the meantime Hitler had his Army spread taking over North Africa and had intel units in South America.
Uboats were off the coast of Long Island. Nazi Saboteurs landed on Long Island but were caught right away by the FBI. If PJB was President when this was happening he would just shrug it off and blame Israel which didnt even exist at the time.
Yes Stalin got Eastern Europe but it was a choice of 2 evils. At the time Stalin and the Commies were not ready for an all out War like Hitler was so we chose to work with Stalin. Just like in the 1980's we worked with Saddam and Osama. Interests stay the same but Allies change!
