Can you imagine if he, lunatic would have pushed Russians back to their border? We would not be blessed with Communism, it would have been a boring world. (sarcoff)
At what cost? 50,000 American lives, 100,000 lives? More? What price was too much? Old blood and guts didn't seem too concerned with that aspect of things. But hey, wouldn't he have looked cool parading around Red Square with his ivory handle revolvers? In order "not to be blessed with Communism" we would have had to go not just to their borders, but to Moscow. I agree we could have, no should have, held firmer to keep the Soviets out of Eastern Europe, but invading and going to Moscow after 4 years of bloody war that cost over a half million lives would be madness. Yet, this is what old "blood and guts" wanted to do.
