Your right. Just tell it to the acres of American dead buried in
France.


From that war there are acres of dead of
many countries buried in France, and elsewhere
in Europe, Africa, the South Pacific, and Asia.

Many peoples shared in the liberation of Europe,
and the defeat of the Axis powers everywhere
and many people paid the price of that victory.

But as we proudly pat ourselves on the back for
this, we should remember that though countries
like France and other European countries already
under the Nazi heel were the direct and overt
beneficiaries of the Nazi defeat, the Nazis and
their Axis allies were not going to stop there.
Once Britain fell, who would have been next
in their sights?

A victory in Europe was also arguably a victory in
avoiding later waging a continuation of that same
war on US and Canadian soil, but alone now, our
erstwhile allies defeated and gone and their
resources turned against us. Saving 'them',
was also saving ourselves. Anything 'we' did for
them, 'we' also did for ourselves.
