Can you imagine Cicero at Valley Forge? Or in the lines at the battle of Saratoga? Or at Gettysburg? I wonder what Cicero would be talking about if he were in a landing craft going ashore on Omaha Beach in June of 44. No doubt he'd be spouting his anti military, anti government rhetoric... I wonder how long that would last?
Are you kidding....he'd run so far north of the Canadian border that he'd be the only human living amongst the elk
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!

Imagine box in Fallujah or Kuwait, or Vietnam or Granada or Panama, or any of the other countless number of "enemies" threatening America. No doubt he'd be spouting his "keeping America Free", "Defending Freedom" or "sacrifice for the Country" patriotic jingoism's.
Yes, an American Flag, an eagle, an aircraft carrier, fighter jet, and a tank. What else could it be, a public sevice announcement?

Cissy ignored the post. Of course he did!
I'll give him another chance to respond:

I certainly wouldn't have been at Gettysburg. I would have supported the right of the Confederacy to peacefully secede. (I anticipate box's response to be, that supporting peaceful secession is support of slavery, because killing 600k Americans is the only way to end slavery. Regardless of the fact nations were ending slavery without bloody wars.)
Ignored it? It was a hypothetical question. There are only two possible scenarios you posted would I consider laying down my life or encouraging my children to lay down theirs. The two revolutionary war battles. Certainly not a European war or a civil war.

What would have been the end result for the rest of the world (and America) if no Americans took part in WW2? ("Screw the rest of the world... I got mine, screw everyone else")

Well, for one, tens of thousands of Japanese civilians would not have been vaporized.

Bumble... You really should look up the word "TOADY"!

The Russians were working on the BOMB also... without the US involvement and support of Russia, they would have been in deep trouble fighting the Germans and the Japanese. No doubt they would have used the bomb much more readily than we did. BTW, War dead from WW2 : China, 20,000,000 Russia 24,000,000 Germany 8,000,000 Japan 3,000,000 USA 418,000
Cicero whines about Japan's casualties, a country who enthusiastically promoted this war, and is silent on the 44 million dead in China and Russia. How many more would have died in China and Russia if the USA had pulled a Cicero and sat out the war eating icecream?

400k less dead Americans. Americans who left that shithole Europe to get away from the wars and poverty, just to go back and die on the lands they fled. For what? So the Soviet Union could expand its territory?
Where were the Europeans helping the US fight the Japanese? Oh, let me guess, "they got theirs, screw everybody else".
And what would have been the result if no America in WWII? How about 418k more dead Europeans(instead of Americans) that were sorting out their continents territorial and political differences.

WOW! I knew that Cicero didn't know many details of US or WORLD history, but I had no idea it was this bad. Seriously Cicero... read a book. Look up some facts on line... posting your agenda as if it were fact leads no where.
(Start with the ULTRA or ENIGMA secret code, that the British gave to us... helping shorten the war by at least 2 years and maybe 4 years, with the outcome not certain.)
