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.
Weren’t the forces on the Philippines stranded and outnumbered? And continued to fight as a guerrilla force for a long ass time? I completely agree with the general consensus of this thread that WWII was won by the allies and not just the United States but using the battle for the Philippines kinda goes against your point here and argues towards the resiliency of American and Filipino forces. They fought like hell even after losing and in the face of insurmountable odds, and near certain death.
I’m not shitting on the bravery of any troops. The Philippines forces were brave as f, but so were the French resistance fighters that did the same things.
My entire point was you can’t rag on one force for getting whooped and not the other.

I’m just here to attest to the fact that you thanked Canada.
Kind regards, your German neighbour to the east.
