NEWS: So Much For The ‘Iraqis Need Us There’ Bullshit

Then you're sorely mistaken. American students are taught about the Second World War in our schools. We also have television programs and museums as you do which teach us about the conflict. We also have grandparents who served in the military during the time, as well as survivors of the Holocaust who relay to their descendants the horrors and the triumphs of that conflict.

I'll concede that the Second World War didn't affect the American civilian populace as deeply as it did the British, as we were not subjected to physical attack as the UK was (though that fear was omni-present in the American psyche at the time). However to say the American populace is ignorant of the sacrifices made in World War II, of both our troops as well as the other Allies, is a fallacy, and I'll kindly thank you to get down from your high horse.
