You may view the US as the fearless protector of the world, but let reality sink in that their individual soldiers maybe honorable but their system may not be as honorable.
And just to heat up the conversation a little bit, didn't the allied force ask the US to assist them during the start of the WWII? They sent weapons, goods, artillery and such but only committed to the war when the Harbor was attacked. Neutrality Act of 1930s.
So, you may say that you read a lot of history books but don't try to make an argument on incomplete data.
There you go again, shifting from one front to another. I'm not talking about the European front, it's about the Pacific. And yes, a country suffering from economic depression for almost two decades, you have reasons to be neutral. The US has to declare war against Japan, If somebody punches you in the face, you fight back no matter how much penny you have in your pockets.
