why were German Americans fighting their German brothers?

I never understood that.

>hurr durr people of similar genetic ancestry never fought each other
Do yourself a favor and read about ANY civil war in Europe, and then ask yourself the same question again.

The German Germans decided to side with the country that had just attacked you and issue a declaration of war. It was a pretty stupid move

They were trying to fight ethnocentrism at home by proving that German Americans were American first by fighting German NaZis.

Similarly, a few thousand Kews did this for Germany during WW1. Unfortunately for them, their fellow Jews back home in liberal and communist parties fucked that up for them, and gave fodder for the stabbed-in-the-back legend.

Because they were Americans, not Germans

Hi Pyotir

>Do yourself a favor and read about ANY war in Europe

fixed that for you.

Didn't Kurt Vonnegut talk about being a German-American in Germany fighting Germans and being holed up in a basement in Dresden getting the shit bombed out of him by Americans?

To be honest land-lease was a de facto declaration of war months before Pearl Harbor.

Someone posted this in a different thread and I doubt it’s authenticity but he said German POWs asked the Americans “why are you fighting us” the response was “I don’t know but we’re kicking your ass”

Was Vonnegut insane? That’s the impression I got from Slaughterhouse Five. Poor guy lived through some terrible shit nobody should have to.

Why did Yankees and Dixies fight each other?
Why do SJW's want to replace their countrymen with foreigners?
Why did Byzantium have endless strife between factions up until the Ottomans ended them?
Why does China have civil wars every couple hundred years?
Humans are not very good at working together.

Because their "brothers" embraced fascism and threatened freedom and human rights, that's why. That is also why you can freely post here today.

German Americans aren't as German as you think. Just because Jamals last name is Muller doesn't make him German.

thye lived in america and didnt see what "they" were doing to germany

Because Hitler declared war on the United States.

Also British "brothers" fought other British in the war of independence, didn't really stop them that they were blood kin did it?

Germans were good immigrants who assimilated into American society. My german great grandfather anglicized his last name and my german great grandmother would beat the shit out of her kids whenever she caught them speaking german in public. They didn't leave everything behind and cross an ocean to still be germans.

because service was mandatory

Because only the worst of us emigrated..

Not like the US was providing for Soviet Union and China, who were enemies of Germany and Japan...

My grandfather was German. Lived in Germany under the Nazis. Realized that bunch of socialist twats were going to ruin Germany. Emigrated to the USA. Raised a family. Got rich. Moved back to Germany to retire once the damage the Nazis did was fixed.

It's often overlooked or outright ignored, but people like to scream about "NAM!" As it drafted "so many" people. When of the forces that went to Vietnam only 25% were conscripts. Versus WW2 and the "Greatest Generation" which were 75% Conscripts.

It might seem surprising now but public opinion and media hysteria was nearly as bad back then as now and the Anti-war movement had a bit of traction.

So as another user said, they had no choice. The bulk of US forces were conscripts.

Because ((( they ))) convinced goys that arbitrary lines on a map are what matter and not one's race. Look up Hess's misguided plane flight.

Be that whole Germany declaring war on the USA thing their retard of an leader imposed on them.

Sounds kikey8

Anti-socialist is anti-kike.

>ChadBrazillian

Your people were utterly pathetic in both world wars. Unironically more embarrassing than Denmark collapsing in under a few hours

>Fight because muh taxes
>Get taxed even more when independence were achieved

There really has never been a point where Americans could be considered "smart".

Mind explaining how they ie their soldiers I presume were pathetic?

FUCK OFF RUSSIAN FAGGOTS
