Easy to talk about empire and sending others' sons off when you've never had to do it yourself.

Can't help but agree with that. FDR was a total chickenhawk, and look at all the damage that he did...

Although you're almost certainly being sarcastic, I agree with your statement.

Nearly all of the international problems we've faced since the 1940s (Cold War, nationalist uprisings, even Iraq) can be traced back to the offensive (in both senses of the word) foreign policy of Roosevelt and his Wilsonian ilk. US involvement in WWII was a huge mistake and we're paying the price even today.
