with them losing the war they started in 1941.

China was not part of WWII now?

I mean the whole reason they attacked us was because of what was going on in China and our objection to it.  How are they not part of the same war?  That makes no sense.

So a reason for a war is the same as the war itself?

Japan didn't surrender to China; they surrendered to us. As for China, the war wasn't over in 1945 even though the Japanese left.

Maybe that's because it's called the *National* World War II Memorial. 

Yeah we don't have a faggy tribute to our allies like in the Korean War one.

Have you ever seen the Korean War Memorial Tim?

Stainless Steel Statues of a patrol composed of US service men. I don't recall there being Allies among the statues.

Actually for you it should be May 22, 1942, frijolero :contract:

Really? And why is that?

Date Mexico entered the war, duh.  Know your history.

And WHY exactly should I count that instead of Dec 7? Is there something about me that makes me less American than you?

That is because they weren't.  You somehow missed that huge marble slap where it listed all the allies in giant numbers and broke down the UN losses right beside the statues?

I've never seen the monument in person, but a numbers break down that lists the allies doesn't seem much of a tribute.

So...even when you are mistaken and have never been there you are going to insist you are correct anyway?  Impressive.
