The US was most certainly NOT part of WW2 from the start.
We provided aid early in the war through our lend-lease programs, but the US made it a point to stay out of the war. That changed after Pearl Harbor.
Okay "from the start" was wrong on my part, but they were an active combatant for most of the war.
At least your mistake was mostly just a factual error and fairly easy to correct. The person you were commenting to though... I don't even know where to begin.
Fucking... geography, is why we joined WWII? Really? And everything else is just a screed, it's not even worth reading.
They joined the European war late, haven't been around for the most of it time-wise.
They joined in 1943, 68% of time in.
The Germans lost less people fighting against the US in Europe total than in the Battle of Stalingrad.
