    Didn’t realize that a Field Marshal of the Soviet Union is the be all end all of opinions about WW2 and the participation of the US in it. Next you’ll be asking me to follow Douglas MacArthur’s opinions on the Korean War!

    Get real. The US showed up in WW1 in 1917, long after the Central powers were exhausted. In WW2, the US showed up in 1941. On the pacific front, the Japanese had been fighting China since 1933. In Europe, the Germans had been fighting since 1939. In both wars, the homefront was entirely untouched unlike the rest of the world, setting up the US with a massive head economic head start in the post-war period.

    But hey, go on, lecture to the person with two history degrees from a US university on why your dead Soviet Field Marshal’s opinion is more correct about the US’s participation in the war than me.

      Yes, I do believe a field marshal of the soviet union and one of the greatust military commanders of all time understood the particulars of the United States’ involvement in WW2 better than you do, especially since you’re belligerently persisting in error instead of being humble and admitting it. So you have two degrees. So what? That’s fallacious, Andrew Wakefield had a doctorate. You should know better than to appeal to your degrees, there are people who are far more qualified than you are who think everything you’re saying is idiotic—and they’re right
