The only problem is that the AFC opposed virtually every defense appropriation between 1939 and 1941.

The AFC favored strengthening of OUR OWN neglected military defense capabilities rather than financing the agenda of foreign nations.

Furthermore, by tactically aligning themselves with the progressive and communist anti-war movement, they strengthened and gave cover to these groups.

So called "progressives" and communists were aligned with Roosevelt. They were advocates of supplying foreign aid to the utopian workers paradise of the Stalinist Soviet Union.

But thanks for coming forth and demonstrating the absolute idiocy of liberal revisionism.

That's why Southern Senators aligned with the movement voted against having our Fleet Strength match the limits of the Washington Treaty?

Bald lie. Note the years, here. From 1939 until June 1941, the Nazis and Soviets were carving up Europe together. The Commies were vocal anti-war andti-military activists right up to the invasion of the Soviet Union.

As for Progressives, they were part of the reason that in 1939, our military was not in the top 5.
But, if you want to be the one engaging in revisionism because it makes you feel self-righteous, go ahread.
