    No. The reason Japan attacked us is because we were putting an embargo on them due to their actions in China.

    The war in Europe was different:
    No. Stopping the Japanese war effort was necessary. They attacked us, remember.
    Stopping the German war effort was necessary. They had attacked and overrun most of Europe. They would've expanded to the United States after that. They were already attacking our ships.

    Germany was no different than Japan as far as a threat to the United States was concerned.

    People in this country would even lie about their age to join the war army or navy. I don't consider that an involuntary effort, despite the selective service system. Most people of fighting age supported that system at the time.

    The basic test of freedom is perhaps less in what we are free to do than in what we are free not to do. It is the freedom to refrain, withdraw and abstain which makes a totalitarian regime impossible. Eric Hoffer

    Kinda forgot about this one.

    Germany declared war on the USA, the USA followed in kind.....

    Japan was all the way to Burma...

    Is it possible some for fought for "moral reasons" & others not so much??
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
