I think the thing that a lot of us don't really comprehend (unless we were old enough during WWII to be aware of what was going on) is the utterly massive war effort that was underway starting in the late 1930s. If you talk to your parents, grandparents, etc. it's staggering to realize that EVERYONE was working toward victory, nothing else was being manufactured. But the biggest thing back then was that there was ZERO politicizing of the war. There were GOP isolationists who were trying to avoid war, but they didn't obstruct the "lend-lease" program with Britain, and their isolationist rhetoric stopped completely on December 7, 1941.

If Pelosi wants to compare the war on Islamic terror to WWII, that's fine, it's an accurate comparison in terms of its importance to our future freedom and well-being. But she should also be willing to stop politicizing this war, if she and her ilk had said these things during WWII, they would have been arrested for treason.
