But America was the ONLY man that fought this last war. While the rest of the so called 'men' of the world sat comfortably upon their thumbs waiting for the outcome.
no respect. no respect at all!

You are correct so far as the education is concerned... Almost criminal. In fact I'd go so far as to say it is criminal.
But it's all out there to be found. Rather easily, too. Libraries. The interwebs.
As for dying/killing for the Crown? Somehow I doubt it. TPTB don't need the crown in order to take advantage of situations/cause situations to escalate to the point where "doughboys", and their grandkids go off to war.
We know the "truth" of the matter... Yet we continue to allow it to happen... Who bears the most responsibility? The instigators? Or the apathetic morons who allow it to happen, despite all the evidence around them?

Excellent question...Ape...here try this one ..
Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler by Anthony Sutton.
Also for your further reading.. and also by Anthony Sutton
National Suicide...Military Aid to the Soviet Union
America ..since privately and quietly giving up on the Monroe Doctrine has been in the business of joining the British Crown in it's doctrine of "Anglo Saxon Superiority and Rule of the World in the Boxer Rebellion and again having replaced the French during WW1.
Before WW1 it was the French who went out and died for the Crowns profits..but when it was learned that the French would not handle the Germans in the trenches...a new outfit needed to be found to replace the French. This outfit was the American Doughboy.
Since that time we have gone around the world fighting and dying for the Crown's profits..as a Junior Partner...just as did the French in the olde days.
We...like the Brits..have a habit of creating our own enemies...which is a tell tale sign of the system at work. Creating and arming our own enemies.
Someone several pages back posted the question as to whether American schools teach any real history.
For many years now ..Ameican Public schools have stopped teaching any real history ...but now only teach PC as passing for history. Anything of real history needed to be known a student or anyone interested must needs dig and research on their own and outside the mainstream sources to find any kind of truth.
Also much of what passes for history today in American Public Schools is the blame game...American is guilty from the beginning of every social and moral trespass all the way back to Adam and Eve. America is to be blamed for everything.
Guilt Programming...Guilt Propaganda.
Social conditioning and propaganda have long ago replaced any real history in America.
Thanks,

Sad, very sad. Have you ever read a history book on the WW2 or are you assuming all of that of Hollywood movies? The Nazi's wanted the UK to join them from the start but they didn't. They may not have been as blessed as the US resource wise but when they were outnumbered like they clearly were the US would have had no chance against the Nazi machine if the UK surrendered as they would have controlled europe. It was initially the UK that stopped Germany from taking its grip on France and Africa. The US sisn't join the war until they were forced to. That is nothing to be proud of.

Further, the USA was losing cargo ships by the dozen to the German U-boat fleets in attempting to keep the UK supplied with war materiel, which indicates an indirect involvement.

All though big battles are cool and look good on screen what likely gave the death blow to Germany in both WW1 and WW2 was the royal Navy blockade.
By the end of WW1 the Germans barely had the bullets to put in guns and its people were starving. In fact the USA/UK/France if they were not so obsessed with decisive victory's could have just held the front in a purely defensive fashion and Germany would have collapsed on its own accord.
That same problem is what encouraged Germany to overstretch itself taking Russia and North Africa as they knew the same problem of lacking resources would catch up. And it did. By 1944 they could barely find the fuel to put in there tanks and had massive metal shortages so they could not keep up with Russian and allied production.
Same problem with Japan. Once the US navy had the home Islands locked down plane production became almost impossible, they had to cannablise most there surviving surface navy to make new Aircraft as things got so bad for Japan and why they could not design any fighters later on to counter later Allied planes like mustangs or the newer spitfire designs.

I think thats very accurate what you just posted about the royal navies contribution to WW2. They were pretty lethal.
One thing about the royal navy. they were relentless in their hunts for german ships and boats. Look at the aggression and tenacity they exhibited in hunting down the Bismarck and sinking her. You guys weren't backing down from that fight for anything especially after the Hood and gave her no quarter or time to breath. She thought she was smart and could hide from you guys but she waz wrong baby. real wrong. Torpedo bomber peeps her, cripples her rudder and then it was rock n roll time for the royal navy and her gunners when they caught up to her.

I'd point out here that it took an age for the US to realise that the Royal Navy actually knew what it was talking about when advising ships to sail in convoys and not singularly, which is when the greatest losses occurred....
