Perhaps you should consider the size of the armies and how well equipped they were (or unequipped, in the case of the Soviet Union).

Plus, the United States had to finish off the Japs. And we all know that they were far more vicious of fighters than the Germans

The 65% represents more than 10 million dead Russian soldiers btw.

Why? Would that belittle their sacrifice?

Do we? You mean the vastly outnumbered and outgunned Japs?

As for vicious...do you want me to post the casualties inflicted by German troops on the Russian civillian population?

Make no mistake. The war fought on the Eastern Front was barbaric. Both sides gave no quarter.

The eastern front made the western front look like a minor skirmish...

Honestly, they say (in not so many words) that we didn't want to get involved until FDR allowed them to bomb us, unleashing Patton and his godless wrath on the pacific theater.

They also then pulled him back to prevent him from invading mainland asia.

I guess germany was involved or something?

Wasn't it Patton who wanted to take on the Russians because the Russians were eying China up for an invasion.
Supposedly one of the reasons why you nuked Japan. A show of strength to Russia.

?not sure 100%?

Along with the British , Australian , New Zealand , Indians , Canadians and many many others.

My Grandfather was stationed in Burma fighting the Japs long after the war in Europe ended.

Like that was ever implied, moron.

There's a difference between saying the U.S. getting involved is the reason the Allies won the war and saying the U.S. could've won the war on their own.
