A lot of Americans believed that whatever 'Hitler' was doing in Europe and 'Tojo' was doing in the Far East, none of it was any of our business. Let them blow each other to smithereens, we have no worries; not with two great oceans protecting us. The tune changed with the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in December 1941. Then the rush was on to enlist; to show "those parading little puppets" just what it meant to 'sucker-punch' ole Uncle Sam.
