Here's a snippet from the Ft. Bragg address: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKvJLOSMeDs/
The Turd is horribly fucking ignorant...or he'd be aware of history, which would tell him that the US claiming sole credit for the Allied victory in WWII was a VERY sensitive topic postwar. That's not to say that we didn't spend a decade or more making such claims. That pissed off the British, widened the rift between the US and Russia, and antagonized the Chinese.
The Brits utterly exhausted themselves fighting the Germans, were in mortal danger during the first two years of the war, and their economy didn't recover for a decade. They still had food rationing eight years after the war ended!
The Russians lost twenty million people in the war. They endured all sorts of privations and misery. Their armies engaged in over 80 percent of the battles against the Germans and inflicted about that percentage of the total casualties the German armies suffered.
The Chinese fought the Japanese from 1936 to the end of the war. It's unknown how many Chinese died during that period, but estimates are as high as fifty million.
So Trump bleating the discredited 66fallacy that we alone won the war is a grave and stupid insult to our allies. He's a motherfucking asshole.
