Exactly!

I was thinking today how the British must have felt towards America for sitting out the war while the they were mercilessly attacked by the Germans. Clearly there was a little resentment and at the same time appreciation when the US entered the war and having the British spearhead the final push into Germany was justice served.

Typical Brit crappola. The USA did not sit out the early part of the war. Lend Lease was in effect, our factories were gearing up. We escorted convoys halfway across the Atlantic. The Convoys were filled with all kinds of supplies.
We definitely were on a side. And I know its quaint today, but back then going to war just because England and Germany decided to was not anything MOST Americans were that hot to do.
