I don't stand anywhere where you think I do. I fully appreciate the contributions of the servicemen of United states and other allied nations. What annoys me is the presumption that you won the war. The US entered (ground combat) in 1943. That was 4 years after the soldiers of a good many other countries had fought, bled and died fighting the germans. Oh and the Battle of Kursk was almost over before Operation Husky (allied ground forces in Europe) started.

Let me be clear. Too many good men and women fought and died on all sides in that war. I do not arrogate to myself the liberty to belittle anyone's contribution from the safety and comfort of my living room.
