That's funny. I don't feel exploited. I didn't fight in WW II for
monuments or
parades. Pity the poor ******* who has to fight in a war he didn't
belive in.

Yes, it's probably more clear to say the politicians are using the
memory of WWII and its vets to exploit the rest of us.

But D-Day was unneeded. The US should have let the National
Socialists and the Communist Socialists fight each other to the
death....then no Cold War and looming bankruptcy of the US.

Certainly the USSR would have been no threat to the USA when it owned all of
Europe and the Middle East. would it?

and without an ability to learn on someone elses real estate what really
worked in mobile warfare and what didn't, I'm sure the US army would have
just gone swimmingly against late model T-34s, operated by people who
learned to use them defeating Germans. and that whole 'Bombers don't need
escorts' thing would have no doubt been a real success.

Also the US radar situation without the cavity magnetron could have been
interesting.

Yep, the Commies and the Nazis should have been left to fight it out...
