no and Hitler wasn't planning on coming your way. sure.

Actually he had already given up on Britain after the Luftwaffe lost the 'Battle of Britain' to the RAF and set his sights on the USSR. Then America joined the war.

maybe I should have mentioned this "cliche"--we Americans don't speak the Queen's English thanks to our brave troops.

Most Britons don't speak the Queen's English either so we have something in common.

btw: the men who fought in WWII don't see it as "cliche stuff".

No the cliche is that America "liberated" Britain. This is quite clearly factually untrue.

you didn't directly say that the troops were coward~~ you implied it.....right after your proclamation of astonishment, comparison to Indonesia and how British troops would never not go down a street b/c of dangerous men...can you imagine!---you bought the line and perpetuated the lies. you are complicit.

Any soldier who refused to go stay in an area of America because it was dangerous is a disgrace. Agree? If it never happened there is no problem.

you have no idea how PC this country has become and how that hog ties the police..... you have no idea how the race card is being played by the left, the media and the Al Sharptons of this country......you have no idea of how the liberals are politicizing this tragedy and hoping to gain from it....you have no idea of how our welfare state has taught people learned helplessness and class envy

all of these things are coming to a head right now and acting as fuel for the fire....therefore; it IS a problem when people believe the media nonsense and spout it as truth. as the title says: Now is the Time to Shut Up.

Ever heard of "Lend- Lease"?

Was it ever paid for? Were the personal firearms, donated by AMERICAN citizens' ever returned?

I have always admired the courage of the British facing the German juggernaut alone,but rest assured, without the aid supplied by AMERICANS, the outcome would have been different.
