The irony is that they are studying the America of the 1940s. Our Government, electorate, and culture are very different today. We would not have fought WWII the same way. Interpret that as you will.

If this America was counted on for a war that long, and that bloody, well, half of this country would be speaking German, the other half would be speaking Japanese.

Actually, there is a strong American isolationist bent today as in 1941.

That isolationist philosophy is very strong on Free Republic where there is a keen desire to retreat from anything international.

After we run out of our armed forces we’d have to hire mercenaries.
