However, I don't think we can ever come close to understanding how intense and scarey Hitler's War machine was...... We sat comfortably across an ocean, while Russia and England got Bombed and invaded..... Ok, Pearl Harbor was bombed, and it was a tragedy, but think about what the Russians went through on a daily basis..... Think about waking up to shells landing outside your house, and Nazi soliders shooting into your city, killing your neighbors, raping the women, burning down houses and stores..... Food is suddenly gone, shelter is an issue..... Where do you run to? What do you do? It's fucking crazy, and they did what they had to do to survive...... And survive they did..... Ok, Stalin was as Ruthless and Murderous as Hitler was..... However, it's not hard to understand why when you take the whole equation into account..... That was a War for survival of their Homeland, not a war that will boost the economy, and sway popular opinion like most of the US wars were in recent history...... So I guess I'm saying that the US was a big part of the war, and a big part of why the Allies won..... Sure many American Families were affected, shit my uncle stormed Normandy on D day..... However, I don't think we sacrificed like the English or Russians had to, nor did we understand the Fear and Reality of losing our country like those Nations did..... I got Mad respect for the English and Russians, and always will..... Ok, the Russians wrote their History books the way Stalin wanted them written, but do you think our Gov't doesn't slant things? Maybe our violence and oppression isn't as obvious as Stalin's was, but it's there without a doubt..... Since the time of Teddy Roosevelt, the US has been MAJORLY Imperialistic in the world..... Maybe we are bit less brutal, and our motives seem more justified and fair, but not to the rest of the world..... Ok, sorry for the rant.... DONE...
