I can't let this pass without comment becase it is untrue. Well before the US "entered" WW2 we gave mountians of arms, ships & vehicles to both the Soviets & the British. We also provided the naval support (ie armed forces) needed to get that equipment from here to there. We exchanged technology and information, most notably the Norden bomb sight, some ciphering technology & equipment as well as information gathered through spys. This was done because FDR and his administration was committed to defeating the Nazis even while the opinion polls showed the American people were overwhelmingly isolationist (so much for popular opinion). We were in fact "in the war" years before we "declared war".

Well everything you are saying does not apply to the French at all....

Very astute...but I was making my comments with respect to the Canadians, not the French.
