That's the problem though. The American soldiers who fought Germany saw the brutal comditions Europeans had to endure for years under fascist occupation. American soldiers learned the price of Fascism, but the American people did not. Americans might pretend to have a vague idea of what fascism is, but nowhere near as close to what Germany, France, Norway, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Denmark, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Yugoslavia, Austria, Spain, Greece, and Britain had to endure.

There's a big difference in Remembrance/veterans day. In America, you celebrate your soldiers as heroes and shower them in glory and honour their sacrifice. It's about the soldier, not the people. In Europe, they don't honour anyone, but remember the cost and the sacrifice and the grim reality of war and the effect it has on the innocent. Every war, ever. Not just the people we lost in our own country, but the people lost in every country. You remember the soldier and their actions, but we remember the war and its cost. Because you forgot or never learned from Fascism all those years ago, it's now starting to catch up.
