    Yeah people who didn’t live through it often don’t realize we (USA) didn’t invade Germany to end the Holocaust; we did it because they declared war on us and we wanted to stop them from killing more Americans.

    If Germany had minded their own genocide of minorities and borders, the US (and many other countries) probably never would have intervened.

      uh, no. Americans only got interested in WW2 after US investments in England were being threatened.
