Onto your second paragraph you have mentioned time after time of the industrial capacity of the United States and the vast quantities of war related materiel it produced, i assert that if the situation was reversed and the United States had a 7 million population with almost 10%+ serving in the armed forces throughout WW2 it could never have produced what it did,

I had planned on confronting this missive with some numbers, but then I decided that if you can make the statement, you can defend it. Do you have anything to prove this claim, other than biased opinion?

I normally shy away from nationalistic bravado but I feel your besmirching the effort of the US cannot go unchallenged. As it serves no end, I have striven to avoid belittling the efforts of New Zealand and Australia, while still provided factual numbers. Can you do the same?
