Remind me again why the U.S. sacrificed soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen in two world wars to save the United Kingdom from Germany?!?

Good question.

[PghBaldy]

We wanted to save ourselves?

To protect our investments in WWI. When the Fed was created, basically British and US banking merged. We loaned incredible amounts of money (credit) to the UK, and could not let them fold. Also, while screeching about the immoral naval submarine blockaid of England, the Royal Navy let us know in no uncertain terms that they would sink or capture any American (neutral) merchantmen attempting to trade with Germany, on whom THEY had a naval blockaid. Combine this with Brits cutting the transatlantic cable to Europe and forcing all cable communications (news) to go through the British/US cable.

Britain has never been a friend. At best they have found us useful sometimes.

"Charles, dear, the Germans are at it again."
"How so, darling?"
"Paratroopers are landing in the begonias."
"Bloody hell. Where's the gardener?  What are we paying him for?"
"I think the Germans shot him, dear."
"What?  What am I supposed to do? I can't WATER."

The older I get and more of insanity is perpetuated in Western Europe, the more that I think the same.
