Yeah, that's because Saving Private Ryan is a cartoon.
What nationality was the Supreme Allied Commander, you know, the one who planned the Normandy invasion and liberated France?
>completely off topic reply
Boy, somebody sure got triggered.
How is that off topic in a blatant UK vs US thread? Also Saving Private Ryan didn't actually happen whereas Dunkirk did, so there's that
Do tell. What year did WW2 start? How many soldiers did the US lose in the Easter front?
>two completely different battles fought by different factions
>blatant UK vs US thread
leafs made it the farthest on D day and had to turn around actually. Look it up.
What year did the Second World War start?
faced minimal resistance where they landed
Generally most historians say it started in 1939 but their are arguments it started sooner
British veteran on viewing "Dunkirk:"
>My god! It was extraordinary! I never thought I'd see it again. It was just as I remembered. An exceptional film.
American veteran on viewing "Saving Private Ryan:"
>Well the landing scene was well done. But why didn't those retards just use a radio? That'd make a lot more sense.
Right, but then they had to do all the real fighting once the beach head was established.
In Europe, 0
That's the backdrop of the entire Saving Private Ryan film.....
ryan was a sentimental pastiche and jew trickery
British and Canadians also stormed 3 beaches on dday
If you're genuinely not getting that from the OP you have autism, of the unironic variety
Yes, because the only thing that the British did before the United States entered the war was win an air battle while simultaneously getting bombed to shit, get beat so bad that they had to be saved by the Germans not bombing the shit out of Dunkirk, and twiddle their thumbs in underground bunkers. Who was the Supreme Allied Commander? Who did most of the work in a war in which they were fighting two separate theaters? The Brits couldn't do shut without the United States and would probably either be goose stepping or Soviet which honestly isn't exactly a step down.
>yfw outside of the Civil War America only lost 650,000 troops throughout its entire history
It's like the rest of the world isn't even trying.
Remember when that one bitch got shot while charging that machine gun and ended up dying like a bitch and all the faggy soldiers cried about it including Tom Hanks? Man, American soldiers sure are pussies.
cute to leave out the one where millions died
That might be because the United States sat it out for the first roughly half of the war
lol the uk is full of pussies
I don't know, my grandpa was stationed on the Halloween front
>said the armchair dwelling virgin with gigantic tits
England and the US won WW2 amirite?
We were hoping you could clean up your own mess
WW2 really started in Spain and in the joint Nazi/Communist Invasion of Poland, neither of which involved the UK or US
Saving Private Ryan is one of the most deceptive films ever made
Well the US became the dominate world super power with the USSR, they certainly didn't lose
>Who was supreme allied commander
Dwight Eisenhower
>Who planned the Normandy invasion
Sir Frederick Morgan.
Shit was planned out before Eisenhower showed up, son.
lol I'm American, you retard. I just don't go around asserting a pathetically defensive/apologist attitude towards the country I live in because I don't have a fragile ego.
>oh no, the US isn't getting involved in everyone's business
>oh no, the US is getting involved im everyone's business
Well, which do you fucking want?
They were both kind of boring, Hacksaw Ridge is the superior WWII film.
>win an air battle while simultaneously being bombed to shit
Was this meant to sound disparaging?
1941, it was only known as the great European chimpout of 1939 before that.
>Le false dichotomy
WW2, Stopping the Nazis and the Nips isn't comparable to intervening and destabilising the middle east or South America, mate.
I don't have a defensive attitude, I'm not in denial the Soviets were the prominent factor in the European theater but the credit for the Western Front predominately lies with the US.
Remember when war films were about killing the enemy instead of weird rescue bullshit? Good times.
The Band of Brother episodes with the Brits, US, and Canadians blow films both out of the water.
And let's be honest, no one can really tell the difference between all you English-speaking white cunts besides from your shitposting. What's it matter?
>but the credit for the Western Front predominately lies with the US.
Ofcourse it does.
That being said. In July 1944 the war was already won senpai. The ONLY reason why the Allies landed and rushed to Germany was to prevent the Soviets from literally conquering their way to the Atlantic.
>July 1944 the war was already won
>that's why the Soviets, Chinese, and Americans kept fighting WW2 in Asia
Are you being facetious or are you retarded?
Noone gives a fuck about Japan in Europe.
There are a lot of S.A. rebels and Middle Eastern ethnic groups who would disagree.
You're a true bro, I've been saying this in past threads and all the UK/Merrica posters say I don't know shit
>being this retarded about WW2 in a WW2 thread
Russia and the U.S. cared. As I recall, they owned Europe for two generations
It's not exactly a secret we didn't trust the soviets.
Well the outcome was already determined in the pacific by then, it was just going to take a year or two for it to happen before we dropped the bombs. Also, unless you're classifying the USSR as Asia the Soviet Union didn't fight in Asia until 1945
>Asian conflict didn't influence the three world powers or the zones of control
Are you being facetious or are you retarded?
>As I recall, they owned Europe for two generations
Pretty sure where I live there was no Americans or Russians, which is why I live in the wealthiest and safest place on the planet.
Also our education is top notch, something where your anglo overlords clearly failed you in.
The allies needed the help of the United States in WWII. We weren't wanted or needed in a place like Vietnam, and we were completely ill-equipped and out of our element in dealing with the absurdly convoluted conflict going on there. We also accomplished nothing. Same with Iraq, both times.
>Oh look, its another "Americans showcase their intellectual ineptitude, due to trash education".
Anything you say is a joke m8. You literally memorize US presidents in "history class".
>Remember when war movies were meatheaded propaganda films with no humanity or substance? Good times.
>Noone gives a fuck about Japan in Europe.
Well the British and French certainly did.
>1945
Yes I know, I was simply saying the Soviets continued fighting WW2 in Asia with the others.
And the real conflict was far from over, they were trying to create zones of influence for the coming Socialist/Western conflict that began even before the Spanish Civil War. The Cold War started before the bombs fell and Russians swept across Japanese forces on mainland Asia.
Not him, but
>lol you're ignorant because of your shitty educational system
See you're wrong because there's this limitless database of information called the internet
Not American. If you have to guess my nationality instead of rebuttling, the discussion is over.
>Well the British and French certainly did.
You mean the guys who got conquered in 6 weeks, or the guys who sat on their island until 1944?
Im not sure who you mean, because meanwhile 4 million Germans and 10 million soviets were battling ir out on the longest front in the history of warfare.
What he said is right, why make the rest of us look bad with your stupidity?
>implying I have to respond to an ad hominem with an argument
I can smell your weight from here.
I honestly can't blame the Americans for their childish view of war, almost all the conflicts they have been apart of since the civil war have been in a place so far from there home that they might as well have been fairy tales to those not actually fighting on the battlefield, it's the reason why they make such a monumental fuss over Pearl Harbor and 9/11, because it was the only times they where truly hit where they live, where as Europe have had threats in their home constantly, from being bombed on a daily basis to being occupied by enemy forces, the result of this is we have a much more bitter and respectful view of wartime, we tend to see that there are no real winners when thousands of civilians from each side are being blown up. And while I do respect america for the part they played in the war, I must say it's extremely easy to act like you where the hero that saved the day when your people and county where never in much danger to begin with
Dunkirk was basically a bunch of professional British soldiers sitting on a beach waiting for civilian ships to carry them away from the war while French conscripts fought a rearguard action to delay the Germans
Mind blowing
Not him but you might want to revisit why Iraq was against Bush 1 and Kuwait. Iraq 2 Electric Boogaloo was stupid but the first was an easy win.
>still no argument
>what are spheres of influence
>bragging about your shitty country online
wew lad
Dude c'mon, before WWII the British and Germans were the same way. They aren't anymore because the Germans have guilt over the holocaust and the UK is no longer a major world player
>still no argument
>still desperately moving goalposts in an attempt to validate original non-argument that the US was relevant to WW2
What did he mean by this?
>call user retarded
>gets mad when he's called retarded
>whines about it
jesus newfags these days
>thinks I'm another user
kek. why are you so mad
>I can smell weight
Okay seriously what the fuck are you even trying to say at this point
>normandy
>only american
american education
>Still no argument
Ok, Im bored now. Read some books kiddos. Start with a comprehensive timeline of WW2. Start in 1939, not 1944.
Good luck!

Want to know how I know you're a moron?

>becomes frustrated because no one is interested
>fills the thread with anal pain
what a sad lonely tale
how can the British call us french cowards when they turn tail and run like this? Is it to distract the facts that they are number one cowards of world war 2.
Saving Private Ryan didn't happen, you yanks do realise that right?
Britfag here, what godforsaken shit hole did you come from? France? China, Russia, and the US are major world powers and the Cold War was already underway in the Pacific Theater circa 1944. In case you hadn't noticed everyone who wasn't a pussy or cunt was still fighting after VE Day. Even Aussie shitposters
We fought on way after you routed. All you had to do was defend your own damn border and we would have willingly come to everyone's aid. Instead you folded instantly.
>tanks and airplanes? there's no way we could of prepared for things we helped invent
intervening again to stop the mess you created by intervening the first time (isis) doesnt count
