Cornfield Soldiers -Utah Beach to the Elbe - the Story of the 238th Engineer Combat Battalion During WWII List Price: $9.99  |
|
This is the story of the 500 men who went ashore on Utah Beach on D-Day and their fight across Normandy all the way to the Elbe River. These men answered FDR's call to battle by leaving their homes and loved ones in the cities of America and the farmlands of the Midwest... |
Was Germany or Italy ever a direct threat to the USA in WWII?
The Left uses the wornout phrase that Iraq never attacked us so Bush is evil to invade them. Was FDR ever criticized for attacking Germany?
Justin- It seems you watch too many Michael Moore movies....Bush used the same intelligence collected by numerous other countries, and followed UN mandates. Get the truth or you look foolish.
So, it seems most agree....even the liberal FDR attacked a country, proactively like Bush on terrorism, before they could inflict major damage on the USA
1. Germany was a threat to the US because it used submarines to attack US ships. A list of pre-WWII attacks against the US is below.
2. FDR was criticized harshly for attacking Germany. War protesters marched in Washington against WWII. Of course these protesters are now a footnote in history and mostly forgotten. Every war the US has fought has been protested. Even the revolutionary war that created this country was protested by colonists who were loyal to England.
If the US let war protesters dictate foreign policy the US would have ceased to exist as we know it a LONG time ago.
UPDATE: The current war in Iraq was never about 9/11 or Al-Qaeda. It was about a country that was hostile towards the US by 1. attempting to assassinate a former US President, 2. attempting to build WMD (the fact that US intel was wrong about the existence of WMD does not change the fact that Saddam was attempting to build or acquire them) and about liberating a country where the dictator and his two sons tortured the citizens of the country in prisons and RAPE camps where young girls were taken from their homes and forced into becoming sex slaves that were killed after they were used. That fact is not from US intel but rather journalists from all over the world and documented by even Bush's harshest critics.
