5. NO!
Every American was involved during WWII. As a 9-year old child, I well remember collecting metal, and peeling the aluminum foil from gum wrappers, cigarette packaging and collecting metals to be used in re-cycling for the war effort....my Mom was one of the original Rosie the Riveter gals, while my dad was flying bombing raids in Europe.

School children saved their pennies to buy Savings Bond stamps and made up shoebox's of soap, toothpaste, combs, candy and little toys, to be sent as gifts to children whose towns, cities and homes had been destroyed by the Nazi's or the Japanese.

FDR and Churchill brought us all together as one.

No trooper volunteered for this mess. You don't go to war based on lies and mistruths. You don't go to war and ignore your generals advice or fire them if they don't tell you what you want to hear. You don't go to war on the advice and guidance of advisors who neither studied battle/wars, or who have little to none knowledge of the Nation and the culture of you are invading.
You don't go to war with a Commander-in-Chief who has never, ever been successful in anything he has ever attempted to lead and you never go to war with a Commander-in-Chief who deserted his own military obligation when it was his time to obey his Commander-in Chief's orders.
