They really do teach history differently in the US. Here’s how the rest of the world learns it:

1) America lost the Vietnam war, by way of attrition.

2) America played hooky for the first half of WW-II. The Russian Winter halted Hitler’s advance in the East, and the Battle of Britain halted Hitler’s advance in the west. The Battle of the Atlantic was won by Sonar and Radar, and superior convoying strategies (all British innovations). Hitler was stopped in North Africa and Italy by the British and New Zealanders. The Eastern Front collapsed under the sheer weight of the Soviet advance. The Japanese advance to the South was stopped by Australian troops in New Guinea. The Japanese advance in the West was halted by the British and the Indians. America helped out at Normandie and in what remained of the European Theater, and did an admirable job fighting the Japanese.

Even the chief military leaders in Vietnam admitted they won the war in the streets and in the MSM DESPITE our military fighting with their hands tied

You and the rest of the Euroweenies created Hitler with your appeasing etc and with that dumb ass WWI meat grinder that we allowed ourselves to be dragged into

Yeah the Japs weren't stopped at Guadalcanal or Ausralia would have gone belly up

And I guess DUNKIRK was a great British Victory over the Wehrmach and I guess the invasion of N Africa and Sicily and Italy were all products of Mongomery's military genius and thank God ol Monty met all his goals on D Day and beyond or we would still be on Omaha beach

And as for the French that meeting in the RR car with the Germans was to discuss vacation plans for the German Army

You created that mess in WWI and in WWII with your stupid foreign policies

Just remember Churchill's words on hearing about Pearl Harbor "The Empire is Saved " I wonder who he figured was going to do the saving
