Dallas sniper attack

From what I've seen on the History Channel and such our government didn't think you guys had the will to win and decided to watch and wait. The main reason we eventually got involved in the war in Europe was after the Brits seized all those French ships it gave our government the feeling that you guys were determined to not only fight back but win the war. That and the Pearl Harbor thing.

The "History Channel" is run by idiots with no historical education. Even their so called staff contributor "historians" sound rather dumb...

The British Navy sank the French ships with a good reason - that they could conceivably tip the balance against the Royal Navy...

The U.S. Navy was also fighting a low intensity naval battle with German U-boats by that time, so it wasn't long before we got into the war one way or another...

1 French ship sunk. 2 damaged, scuttled by the French later in the war. I've checked it out on film and in print. All versions point to Churchill hoping to impress the US and the plan working.
