The 5 Most Widely Believed WWII Facts (That Are Bullshit) - From Cracked.com. Every country is guilty of revising their history, and America is no different. Such an uproar several years ago over Japanese revisionist history, and yet, with a little research, it's easy to prove our historians and history guilty of the same omittances and weighted, selective emphasis. And we, as a society are just as ignorant and gullible as anyone else. And our situation may be worse, as our hyper inflated self perception is not only dangerous to the rest of the world, it is unrealistic and ultimately, dangerous to the future of our nation. Not only do we view ourselves as Goliath, but so does the rest of the world. And yet, we forget the end of that story..
The myth of America as Superpower started with WWII, and has been accepted, without question, by our populace, and a great portion of the world. Maybe it's time for a re-think.
