Imagine for a moment they made a movie about the Battle of Iwo Jima without showing the raising of the Flag on Mount Suribachi and the members of the movie company says says something about they left it out as they don’t see it as an American victory, but a victory for all freedom loving people? You feel the same?

Great analogy. The Iwo Jima victory was an American victory, paid for by American dollars earned by American citizens at the excessive cost of American lives and blood. To say the British, Aussies or Soviets deserve just as much credit for it is rubbish.

If they hadn’t come out and bragged about deliberately omitting the flag in that scene, who would have made an issue of it. Perhaps someone would have, but it was the deliberate decision to MAKE THAT FALLACIOUS POINT (and then BRAG about it) is what many such as you and I take exception to.
