Yea, I think they called the forces in Europe something… Allies maybe? I dunno, can’t remember.

Also, I find it funny that Americans love to harp on the French for getting whooped by Germany when the American occupied Philippines folded faster than Superman on laundry day.

Also they spent 20 years in Afghanistan for it to roll up to the Taliban minutes after they left.

Wars are hard. Wars get lost. If any Americans don’t believe it, check the White House carefully for smoke damage.

Signed, a Canadian and forever ally to the true America and true Americans.

Yup… if we really want to twist history like this, US would be speaking Japanese if it weren’t for two Hungarian physicists volunteering to help with the bomb.

When was the U.S. occupied by Japan the way France was by Germany?

It wasn’t. But neither was France liberated purely by US. We’re in the business of twisting history to fit a narrative.
