Originally posted by Rune_of_PunishmentAmerica syndrome? WTF? Gimme a break. We generally have the most casualties in any war. Why? We send in the most troops and we stay the longest. It's fact. If you think we're arrogant, I'll admit, the country as a whole is. However, just because your country doesn't throw themselves out there doesn't give you the right to say that we don't care about everyone else. We just have more people in the fight. Aside from that, don't get into WWII and go blaming EVERYTHING on the Nazis. Look at Japan. They were just as bad. They killed many Chinese, Koreans, Americans... tons of people in their respective area. Does history ever focus on that? Of course not. The countries and races the Japanese killed don't cry every waking moment about how they were tortured and murdered in WWII. Many of them, if not all, have moved on. However, there are still several bitter Jews (no offense to those who are Jews here) that constantly cry about the Holocaust and are still getting reparations. What the hell? It's over. Done. Finished. If you have to moan to get publicity and try to make people feel guilty, you have a sad life. Yeah, I feel bad about the Holocaust, but to keep pressing the issue and making it the main focus in WWII is beyond me and ridiculous.Now... to the real topic. May those who died in war rest in peace.

I've just been looking at this thread and it started as a Canadian holiday I didn't know about that I was learning about from this and a few bad comments to a full-blown debate that pointed fingers at various countries. Everyone has faults, no country is perfect, no country will stay in power for ever. It occurred to me that this is an international forum, and I feel that we really do get along great with any differences we have. So in other words, Razor is right, but not just with America, with anyone who has been pointing out a country's faults.

Cause we do it in Australia too.
