"This did not occur because their people desired it, or even demanded it. It occured because the citizens of this country made a choice to become Sailors, Soldiers, Airmen, and Marines and chose to stand up and fight for"

--Actually, I think the "choice" was made for Americans in the form of a military draft and by a President who declared that we had to share the sacrifice--that is, put our lives and the lives of our loved ones on the line, ration, drive less, do without tax cuts, eat less meat, plant victory gardens and on and on. These are facts which war cheerleaders routinely overlook. "We" sacrificed as a country then. Now "we" can stay safely at home and while risking nothing, sit in front of our computers and accuse others of being weak willed or unpatriotic. Big difference. If you want to reference WWII, cons, reference ALL of it and not just the parts that suit your argument. ;-(
