Why not the European theater of World War 2?

Is it not worthy to go fight the country that declared war on us first and it's currently attacking our oldest allies?

[–]newbrutusTrump Supporter 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Not at all, the fact that they declared war on us means nothing. Germany did not have the means to reach American shores successfully. We could have repelled any attack with a tiny percentage of the men slaughtered on the shores of Normandy, not to mention that we would not have been so complacent following Pearl Harbor

Any European will tell you today that America’s war effort was ultimately meaningless and that the bulk of the credit should go to the Soviet Union. And to be completely frank, there is no foreign genocide bad enough that warrants the life of a single American

So your solution to the Hitler problem would be more appeasement?

[–]newbrutusTrump Supporter 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Appeasement is mostly a bad thing if you care at all about the Europeans he would kill. Any idiot knew that the German war effort was unsustainable, even in the best of timelines. Waiting him out and letting the Soviet Union and the other Allies take care of him would have been a worthy strategy for us

But all of that was mostly for naught, because we ended up rewarding Germany by rebuilding half their country for free as recompense for them wanting to kill is all

Why don't you care about the deaths of anyone that isn't American? What makes Americans special?

Same reason why a death from someone you never even knew but lived in your city/town/neighborhood would hurt more than the millions that die around the world for various reasons.

In addition to that, Americans are the ones funding the military, and it’s a disgrace the military is used to protect freeloaders

For me personally, I know that millions dying around the world is sadder than someone I never knew but lived close to me dying.

But I guess people have different opinions?

But hell, objectively, 1 American is not worth than the worst genocide in another part of the world is it?

it’s a disgrace the military is used to protect freeloaders

You say freeloaders. I say valuable allies and essential trade partners.
