Grungi,

I can't disagree with any of your points. In both Wars, America played the part of the Cavalry as you see in movies. Coming in all flashy and mopping up ......... at the last possilbe moment, after the hard work has been done, and claiming all the glory. Your claims are the same as the US 101st ABN DIV. 3rd AD claims they "rescued" the 101st at the Battle of the Bulge, and the 101st denys they needed rescueing. There is not doubt that the success in Europe was a combined effort, but we arogent Americans tend to forget that. In the Pacific though, that was the US Navy and Marines 100%.
