Is Deontay Wilder a country bumpkin?

Also we get our history from history books, not from movies...

Nobody in the US thinks we single handily won the war. BUT, we were a part of making it winnable when we didn't even have to get involved in the first place. Gratitude seems to fade over the generations. I bet you don't even know that the US suffered more military deaths in WW2 than Britain do you? This isn't a joke to the US brother. Don't play with the subject.

obviously america helped greatly but if anyone had the biggest contribution it was the russians, hitler ****ed up badly by invading them. britain werent to be ****ed with back then either which is why they never were able to launch an invasion, whilst the rest of europe fell we held them off. although as a country we are a shadow of what we once were

sorry realised i responded to the wrong post and hadnt actually read this one. i dont disagree with what youve put there ^

[Citizen Koba]

That's a very valid point and I do agree. I guess I'm biased because I'm from the US and had soldiers in my family during that time I suppose.

Everyone who fought deserves our respect, man.

Actually the British successfully held off the ****s in the Battle of Britain, putting off an invasion indefinitely. You should look it up.

I'm aware. But If I give you some literature to read that supports my claims, will you even read it? I'd rather not waste my time.

I totally agree, it's something that should never have even happened. Time shows that you can never win with hateful reasons.

Now, if your family had fought in the war, would you not have biased feelings as well?

There were dozens of Allied nations in WW2, and virtually all of us living in those nations will have somebody in their ancestry who fought in it. It's not really exceptional.

I assume that was sent for me even though you didn't quote me. So, since you are talking about it, where are you from? And are you biased about it as well? Do you want to rewrite history as well?

On the English side Grandaddy Koba was an RAF careerist (as a navigator) from 1933 to 1947 who started the war in Burma and subsequently was one of the last out of Greece and spent much of the remainder of the War in North Africa. On the Greek side my family was part of the Communist ELAS resistance who are regarded as having formed the backbone of the struggle there - an allegiance for which they paid dearly after the war... by accounts they used to hide guns under my father's crib.

As a result I have mixed allegiances (specially given the British - and Soviet - betrayal of the Greek Communists after the war), but I try to keep an internationalist point of view as far as possible. Course, we all have our biases ( I was bought up very anti-American for instance, but I've come to accept that most of you guys are actually OK) but I do my best to keep them in check.

Definitely, but they defended themselves. It really has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. They weren't going to be able to win their part of the war without the Allies either. Russia lost twice as many soldiers as Germany, the US and Britain combined!
Hitler just didn't plan for the total assault against them in so many fronts. But make no mistake about it, that war would not have ended the way it did without the US involved.
