Aw man. You're being an idiot, Hero2. I wish you knew what you were talking about but you don't.

And America did a good job in WW2 and 1 (despite being late to both) but we all seem to forget about a little place called Russia.

Russia took out more Nazi troops than any other country. If Hitler didn't attack Russia he might have won the war. Go Russia!

And Joe is right about the Canadian forces and big things. Canadian troops came up with most of the trench tactics in WW1 that are in American soldier field guides today. The Canadian army was a thing to be feared.

But really Hero2. You're just kinda letting words fall out of your mouth. I like Americans but I don't like Americans like you. You don't know what you're saying nor do you bother to learn the facts.

The arrival of American forces were near necessity to end both wars. The American troops were only "late" because the nation was once isolationist. When the war hit home, the States fought back. After the war, because the masses with views similar to yours felt America was "late", the nation grew in power and planned to be the first to jump to a conflict, rather than the last.

Russia did a lot of fighting, but they lost more troops and civilians than they were able to take out (both wars). The Russian losses dwarved those of all the other nations combined. It wasn't the Russian troops directly, but the Russian winter that defeated Hitler. Oh yeah, Stalin, too, was an evil bastard. Good quotes though ¦¬Þ

I also feel that Hitler did not lose the war just because of the Russian winter. The combined forces of the other nations could've tackled the problem (even though Hitler was much more prepared for war... he had a spectacular military base). If all else failed... there was the nuke for endgame. Not that nukes are the "nicest" thing to do, but they sure are effective.

Saying Canadian forces came up with trench tactics? The trench wars were fought on the fronts by Germany and France. Maybe Canada sat down and worked out "etiquette", but the system itself is very European.

The Canadians probably did have a stronger military system, as they weren't as isolationist as the States. However, when the United States was called to action, they got their gear built up pretty fast.

lol...i kinda agree, not to be mean or anything...but it's true

Joeiss · 10-23-2003, 06:09 PM

And all from taking only 1 and a half history courses at school, hahaha.

And I do not think the Nazi's were defeated by the Russian winter alone... There was much much more.
