"On another note:... you mention the lack of other allied forces in the game. I mention the fact that EA Games screwed it up once AGAIN! According to EA it was the UNITED NATIONS that fought Hitler and not the Allies. Well I've got news for those historical IDIOTS at EA GAmes. The U.N. wasn't founded until the 1950's."

G.I. Jerk,

Here's some 'revisionist history' straight from the UN's website:

The name "United Nations", coined by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was first used in the "Declaration by United Nations" of 1 January 1942, during the Second World War, when representatives of 26 nations pledged their Governments to continue fighting together against the Axis Powers.

This image that you say was created by the historical idiots at EA is a reproduction of the letter Gen. Dwight Eisenhower wrote and read to the troops before they disembarked. Geeze, what a moron Eisenhower was; in 1944 everyone knew that the United Nations didn't exist yet.

"They won WWII for us as well. (never mention to a Yank the fact WWII began in September '39 and not as they believe that "date in infamy" Dec 7th 1941)"

So, I guess when the Japanese invaded China in 1937 and Clair Chennault stood up the American Volunteer Group, commonly known as the Flying Tigers, it was what, a roadshow?


This is NOT an anti-ANYONE diatribe. I just call them as I see them, except I use facts to support my arguments.
