Obviously the rest of the world owes a continued huge debt to John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Indiana Jones et al, for winning the World Wars and that the huge sacrifices made by Britain, France, Russia, Poland, China, Ethiopia, all of Europe, Malta, Burma, CANADA and most other countries cannot compare to the the pain the American people went through at the same time, the huge civilian casualties they suffered, the starvation, the rape of their country. I would suggest a lot of people go onto YouTube and watch the fantastic BBC documentary, The Nazis: A Warning From History. Imagine if what happened at Pearl Harbour was an every day occurrence throughout America and that Twin Towers was happening in every city, that it continued for a whole year. That's sacrifice. It's Remembrance Sunday today, the scars are still there for many.
