Why on earth were we even fighting the Germans? We should have just dealt with the Japanese because they attacked us first. By fighting the Germans in Europe with a small coalition,(Germans, Italians and French didn't care to help much), mainly the British, Americans, Australians, Canadians were the only ones fighting.

We stretched ouselves too thin. We had so many set backs and foul ups in that war. We lost all those lives when we could have saved hundreds of thousands by only taking on the Japanese.

I think FDR had some kind of personal vendeta against Hitler or Britain just used its American protector to do its bidding in Europe because it couldn't do it on its own.

"Why on earth were we even fighting the Germans?"

It could have something to do with the fact that they declared war on us. Seriously though, the concentration camps were O.K. with you?

Because Hitler declared war on us four days after Pearl Harbor.
