Should the world erect a great temple somewhere honoring america for single handedly winning WWII?

Question

If you talk to most right wing nationalists they seem to think this.

Answer 1

Good idea. And it can house a statue of Prescott Bush I with his arms full of Nazi payoffs.

I am alarmed at the number of uninformed answers that popped up while I was writing a short answer.

Folks, go dig out a history book, read up on the Battle of Britain if nothing else.

Sheesh.

Other nations helped!

If it were not for cousin Winnie and his ability to keep the natural British pluck up, we'd all be saluting a Nazi in the White House... Let me rephrase that, we'd all be speaking German.

Answer 2

Just to correct a couple of misconceptions.
From DC
Ill tell you that we single handedly defeated Japan's Empire in the Pacific.

Ok so the British Pacific Fleet were just floating about waiting for the Americans to win the War?
The defeat of the Japanese had nothing to do with the Brits and commonwealth troops fighting in Burma or other land campaigns in Asia?
GET A GRIP!!!!. Yes you supplied men and materiel. Not surprising for one of the largest countries in the World. Ideas, weapons and, of course, the most destructive weapon of all time originally came from foreigners. I`m not a Yank hater. I like your country and am thankful for the help both before and after Pearl.
Just remember. If Britain collapsed then Hitler could have taken the Soviet Union. Who would then stop him building weaponry to take on the next prize across the Atlantic?
We won it by resisting in 1940 as much as you won it by supplying so much materiel.

From philbertpheinstein

Yeah, build it in Hiroshima and decorate it with the pictures of the 800,000 people the US wiped out there..
Philbert. Approximately 80,000 people died at Hiroshima. Is this the standard Soviet tactic used to exaggerate "atrocities" by adding a Zero onto the true figures?
And yes the loss of life at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was horrific but think on this. How many Allied lives lost in an invasion? how many Japanese soldiers dying to hold their posts? how many Japanese women throwing themselves and their children off cliffs after they have been told that the allied soldiers would rape them and eat them?
As horrific as the A bomb was it certainly saved more than it killed.

Answer 3

Yes, the world should erect a monument.
Here is an idea.

US Lend Lease program supplied 6% (six percent) of equipment produced by USSR. That's a historical fact.
US troops were approximately 6% of the Allies.

Let's erect a monument and call it:
6% Victory.

Answer 4

Britain stood alone after the fall of France. America was looking west towards Japan. We stopped the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain. As for the D-Day landings it was the British who organised it.

We were the only ones who single-handedly took on Nazi Germany and didn't capitulate. The US helped us and for that we are thankful, but they killed more British in friendly fire in their first 6 months of their European campaign than Nazi Germany did....

Answer 5

Oh shut up.

Im about as far right as it gets, but no one thinks America single handedly one. Ill tell you that we single handedly defeated Japan's Empire in the Pacific, and without the US in Europe the Allies would have lost; but the Soviets and British were key allies in the War.

Answer 6

umm just beacuse we were the strongest contry in WWII doesnt mean we sigle handedly won it sure we were thhe strongest and could of easly beaten any country one on one at the time we could of never taken on the axis all by ourselfs and we were also good beacuse of the fact that we waited so long and we didnt have people dying or spening alot of money on military till the end

Answer 7

the only reason the yanks got invovled was because germany was getting far too powerful, they were happy to see britian in the war, and they only entered after the UK gave them every bit of money they had, thats why we had to live with rations for years after


so i dont think there should be a statue for that

Answer 8

No, we had help and there are plenty of WWII monuments alredy.

But, some Euros sure seem to forget their own history.

Answer 9

I think we have erected quite enough of them around our own nation .
If I saved your life and reminded you of it all the time you would grow to resent me with good reason .
Walking around patting yourself on the back for the fine work you did once .

Answer 10

single handedly? The Canadians and the British didnt help?
