And yes I feel blessed being born in one of the sane countries. Not the best maybe. 

But still. Seems to be up there. 

Not many other things Ive been blessed with. I guess having a dad loving Neil Young is a close second. 

Then you should send my family and Meltdown's and McGruff's a thank you card for enjoying yourself.  Because without the help of the US and Canada, you'd have spent your youth in the goosestep.  

Never said I've had a problem with the US joining the war.

Doesn't make the US a better country to live in for its citizens with this laughable hard on for predatory capitalism and the military.

I forgot to include that my grandfathers brother (so my great uncle?) was a survivor of the Bataan death march. He went to a Japanese pow camp for the remainder of the war and somehow survived. 
Spirtual you can send me a case of your best local beer as a way of saying thanks. 
I honestly think Sweden would have been conquered by the Russians if we didn’t intervene. Scandanavia would have went red and mainland Europe would be saluting the swatistka even to this day. 

Germany looked up to Sweden. We were the model for the perfect mench. No way Adolf would have let Russia have us. Our blond hair and blue eyes would have kept us safe.

Is it legal to send alcohol from one private person to another?

Man, I can't believe he was in the death march and made it.  I can't even imagine the hell.  

Yeah you are talking over three years in a POW camp on top of the March.

Did they help like they helped transport German materials to the eastern front?  Do they just help whoever asks and it was a convenient time to help the Allies AFTER we were on the mainland?  Were you guys like Italy, but can't even raise an arm?  I mean they jumped sides, but at least they handled a weapon.  
We do appreciate that you aren't critical of the US (and Canada) for saving your country.  That's big of you.

Very true. I mean I don’t know how he couldn’t have been caught. But I screwed up my story a little bit.  My grandfathers sister ( my great aunt) was a nurse during world war 2. She took care of my future uncle after he was released from the camp. They fell in love and were married 50 years before my great aunt mary passed. So the guy who survived wasn’t my blood line if that makes any difference.

Well ofc. I am able to be objective. 

That is one of the perks of not being raised in a country with an alarming amount of spoon-feeding of nationalism and singing the national anthem 15-16 times a day. :P 
 
(And for some perspective, the US didn't join the war for over two years before they themselves were attacked)

A lot of people died with the US being neutral for those two years. A shame.

You're sorely mistaken on so many levels.  Get out of your basement.  

Second,  it's a shame how your country enabled the the Einsatzgeuppen and their war crimes. I think that mark runs a tad deeper.

Well, at least we never napalmed children and mocks countries who try to help out Syrian refugees  .

 Have fun in your basement. Whatever that means. In the San Francisco area it is uncommon with basements. But the Roger Rabbit-voice actor - who also plays the sleep expert in A Nightmare on Elm Street, has one - and Jake Gyllenhall finds himself walking down into it. Scary stuff. A thrill in the movie theater. Finches knows what he's doing.

Napalm trumps firing squads? Congrats.  

The rest of what you wrote is gibberish.

I have a massive interest in WWII. Why would you think otherwise? But this isn't a conversation about WWII really. It's one about which country is the biggest jerk or the best participant when it comes to WWII, and it seems to be getting used as some kind of weird pissing contest between you guys on these boards: Sweden vs USA. It's just really strange to me.

Just to add - Im not the one jerking off my own country for joining and i have said nothing about Sweden joining or not joining. 

The D-day documentary was Interesting though.

It is also very strange to me too.  I m glad to hear you have an interest in world war 2. Besides your hockey affiliation and calamari sauce you seem like a very cool person.

And if you want you can pick up a book and read up on why Sweden decided on staying neutral.

PJ_Soul

Americans were practically isolationists before WWII, really, plus their military really wasn't up to snuff in 1939. Plus the public was simply not in the mood at all, so that encouraged the politicians to stay neutral. Obviously Pearl Harbour changed all that.

Spiritual_Chaos

Seeing jokes being made in the media about Beto still running. 

What has happend to his campaign?
