Don't try to fool history. US did'nt arm up against Hitler, and had no
wish to do so. It armed up because of Pearl Habor.


You need to read a bit more history. The US was visibly arming for war
well before Pearl Harbor. It entered the war in Europe, for all practical
purposes, with the signing of the Lend-Lease treaty in early 1941.
