Actually he had already given up on Britain after the Luftwaffe lost the 'Battle of Britain' to the RAF and set his sights on the USSR. Then America joined the war.
maybe I should have mentioned this "cliche"--we Americans don't speak the Queen's English thanks to our brave troops.
Most Britons don't speak the Queen's English either so we have something in common.
btw: the men who fought in WWII don't see it as "cliche stuff".
No the cliche is that America "liberated" Britain. This is quite clearly factually untrue.
you didn't directly say that the troops were coward~~ you implied it.....right after your proclamation of astonishment, comparison to Indonesia and how British troops would never not go down a street b/c of dangerous men...can you imagine!---you bought the line and perpetuated the lies. you are complicit.
Any soldier who refused to go stay in an area of America because it was dangerous is a disgrace. Agree? If it never happened there is no problem.
