Um, details? I just watched "Midway" last night, and well...wow! I also recently watched the Ken Burns recriminations about a US in the 30s that was isolationist and reluctant to get involved...nice comeback Sleeping Giant! Many WW II Medium perspectives talk about how Soviets did most of the European theater fighting, well as you point out, the US was lend-leasing them stuff across the Pacific, and wo us they'd have been "effed" (a fact Stalin knew but didn't admit). Surely in the totality of WW II, the US was REALLY the deciding factor, a big advertisement for our manufacturing power, resolve, and Democratic exceptionalism (some missteps yes but really, our finest moment?). As some say, WW II was won by British intelligence, US industry, (and Soviet blood) but that was Europe, the Pacific was pretty much all us after Britain faltered.
