Came on at ten. Sorry I'm late. Excellent series. Well worth watching what's left.

1. All in all a good program but I disagree with their analysis at the end of program 2. |
|
The U.S. did win and just because they didn't invade the Soviet Union or prevent them from decades of dominance in Eastern Europe, can't detract from that, the narrator of that program seemed to imply we lost and I believe had a hot war continued, millions if not tens of millions more would've been killed.
The American People were sick of war and the war to some extent dehumanized us as well as our enemies and had it carried in to a hot war against the Soviet Union, how much worse would we be?
Thanks for the thread Wilbur_Stool.
