Suprised it took me this long. I've had enough of his drivel. While I take nothing away from the Russians who lost a whole generation during WW2, the notion that the battles of Normandy, Anzio, and the Bulge do not warrant the US and its Western Allies a victory is purely offensive, and historically incorrect.

I've got a grandfather that will show you his battallion picture before they shipped out to Northern Africa. He'll then count on one hand, then number of them that made it to Germany. Then he'll show you his arm, that was nearly burned off by a phosphorous grenade. And maybe, if he really really likes you, he'll show you a picture of his ammo boy, who had his head blown off while charging a AA emplacement and whose body continued to run, headless, for 50 feet before falling to the ground.

As for our Airforce. Take a look at the first night of the first Gulf War.
