Perhaps that is typical. And, for the "U.S., frightening. " The Axis countries are not a threat military-wise(maybe economically). The Allies did learn from WWI not to leave a loser around. Russia would be as succeptable as America to not learning from WWII defeats. Also, as another posting pointed out, the US military has learned from Viet Nam how the lessons needed to prevent another such disaster. The American military remembers Viet Nam better than WWII I suspect. David Becker beckerd@cs.unc.edu
