On edit: I am not implying that your comment was irrelevant.

Contemporary Americans seem to love using this schtick to beat on western Europeans. WWII ended 81 years ago and none of these fuckers had anything to do with it. Yes, the U.S. did contribute greatly to the fall of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. I am even more proud of what we attempted to do after the war, to create a more liberal world order to prevent that shit from happening again.
