(It's somewhere in the Northeast USA, but anyone may talk, it's 1 week after the attack on Pearl Harbor, my character rises up to speak before the group, a intellectualy bunch that likes asking "what if" questions).


Man, can you believe those sneaky Japanese could have gotten us so badly? Half the Pacific fleet is at the bottom, many of our islands throughout the Pacific have already been invaded. And we're only a week into the war! Thank god our Carriers weren't destroyed, other wise we'd REALLY be up the creek. And now those Nazis and Italians have declared war on us. I know we'll win, there's NO WAY America will fail, what with our big industrial capacity and huge amount of men. But how are we gonna be able to win this war anytime soon, I don't know. We'd need to sink something like half the Japanese carriers AND free france (Yes, I know, I thought the french would stop the Germans too, NOW STOP ANNOYING ME ABOUT IT!), AND beat those Italians AND bring the war straight to the heart of the Axis. I'm gonna guess the war will be over in 1949, but who knows, maybe it'll be over by 1945, that's my optimistic guess. And by the way, remember, all able bodied men are asked to sign up for the Army, Navy, Marines or Army Air Force. I tried, but I was 4F, something about my feet being too flat. Bizarre.

I am a 4F myself and for a massive variety of reasons

migrane
bad back
bad knees
wear glasses
flat feet
(ooc: the office of personel in Sweden gave me a 4f based on this 13 years ago)
I am going to work in a autoplant in Detroit that is going to make B17s. This is why i emigrated to your nation

But i dont lack anything in my brain and here is my thoughts

If the philipines dont fall to the japanese we have a foothold that can be used. If they fail i fear Australia may be next.

US needs to take care of the japanese carriers before turning its atention to Europe. No invasion of Europe until 1943 by the earliest, maybe land a small force in North Africa to help the english 8th army.

I hope the russians dont fold next year. Moscow may fall if Hitler makes an offensive in the spring towards the capital

man, how dark it is

Why are we even fighting this war? If we hadn't been out warmongering in the Pacific we could sit tight and let it all blow over. I say we gave the Japs what they want and they'll go away. It's only the Chinese, I say we let float down the river.

Oh, Mine Gott!

How can anyone be so shortsighted!? Don't you realise how evil Hitler Fascism is? Why do you think I left the country in the first place. I tell you, if the United States don't go in and help Britain now, with all they have, then in a generation you will be fighting the Nazis on your own shores. And yes, that will involve holding your nose and helping Stalin, too, and I have no love for that man, either. With the Japanese it might even be possible to make a peace (though not I think now, with half the fleet sunk from their carriers). They fight a great power war of the old kind. But Hitler wants world rulership, him you must destroy.

Thank all you hold holy your President has the wisdom to see this. Imagine what shape the military would be in without the budget increases and selective service. I tell you, no matter how long it takes, if the United Nations win this war, Roosevelt will be the next thing to a God, and deseredly, too.

I heard of development of a new superweapon, the nuclearic explosive-metal doomsday bomb. Maybe we can win the war with those?

Why should you fight for the british empire and the russian communism? I thought you were anti-imperialists and anti-communists. Those are the ones in danger face to face with Hitler. Give those japs a lesson for attacking you and grab all you can in the Pacific. After all, you just need a war to get out of the Depression, no matter against who.
But if still you feel like fighting fascism, come give us a hand in Spain. Come on, it will be cheap.

We are at war. The Golden Gate in '48...it will take six or seven years to take the Japanese Islands over.
