HSR Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 My Grandfather on my Dad's side fought in WW2 and I just recently connected with a cousin in London that told me there was a picture with my Grandfather in it at the London War Memorial in England for decades from D-Day. He made it home from the war and was a lorrie driver and stopped to check his truck load on a dark night and a cabbie let his young drunk fare drive the cab and rearended my Grandfather crushing him. My Dad never talked much about him so this was all news to me. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest were optional and had zero bearing on the union’s existence. WWII was conducted to acquire world dominance by the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They leave that out of the history books. If china blockaded the trade routes and cut off America’s oil…..that would be an act of war. No difference with what happen with Japan.
