Three uncles served in WWII. One was on the beach day three (drove as part of the Red ball express), two went up the boot (Army).
They liked to say to my dad, that they (three brothers) kicked Hitler's butt. My dad would always reply that it only took him to kick Tojo's butt (Navy, Guam).
They've all passed now, but I still look at their pictures with pride.
Lol I'm constantly running into Europeans here in Italy that are so smugly European, I'm unabashedly American and they get a kick out of it. I think they secretly wish they could be like us.
I used to travel all over Europe (and the rest of the world) for my work and almost invariably would get into this discussion.
My go to? I'd pull out a map of the United States and ask them to point to states.
They'd get Florida, Texas and California...so then I'm say, okay, show me Dallas/San Antonio/Austin/Houston. Not a chance.
Okay, show me Sacremento, LA, SF? Not a chance.
Irritated the piss out off them...especially when I would next move on to discussions of the Crimean Wars or The Crusades -- which from the time I was a kid I studied religiously. I was schooling them on their own histories.
Hungary is in the EU though. I find the hypocrisy amazing. They get mad when we don't know some European city but the average Europeans don't know any U.S cities besides NY, LA, Miami, Chicago...
If it weren't for us dumb Americans, the Eurofags would still all be saying "Sieg Heil!"
Losers.
True.

Even worse. The red army would have stormed over europe and they’d all have suffered under the communists
More like we might be saying "dear comrade".
Who gives a fuck what europeans think about anything?
How quickly they forget they’d be speaking German if it wasn’t for the US. Turds.
DuckDuckGo is a good duck.
I was born in Lincoln.
Also, Nebraska is twice the size of Hungary

fuck even i dont know capital of nebraska ...
Idk I think the two are a false equivalence. A better question to ask is "Do you know the capital of Bolivia?"
Budapest, Lincoln.

Makes me wonder how they'd do with the capitols of NY, Cali, Florida, and Illinois...
