As a proud Scot/Brit, and as a qualified historian, whose passion is WW1 and WW2, I am NEVER glib when people insult my country and its immense and incredible bravery, sacrifice and contribution to two world wars, stopping the evil of Nazism and Fascism, and opposing Communism by force (Korean War, Malaya). And insult the millions of British men and women who fought and died from 1914-18 and 1939-45. As well as 1950-54.

If you truly think America ‘saved’ Britain, it is YOUR history knowledge that is laughable. Not mine.

I’ll make the case that the Polish Pilots during the Battle of Britain actually did more to save Britain....When America entered the war, Britain was “saved”, although together we helped defeat Nazi Germany, but by 1941 the threat of German invasion was pretty much gone, as the Germans got bogged down in Russia.

Then you should be familiar with the effect Pershing's troops had in WWI.

Prior to our involvement in WWII, the Lend Lease Act kept you from being worn down by attrition. Without it and without our contributions, Normandy and the liberation of Europe would have never been possible....and you know it.

Don't be butt hurt over the truth.
