    :| Skirata... I agree that Britain should've acted quicker in the Second World War, but that is the decision of governments. However, respectfully, to state the Allies were not heroes is, I feel, completely unfair. You should limit such statements to the governments in question, so as to not include those doing the actual fighting, that gave up their life fighting in and for another country's safety. In fairness... the decision to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to war, and therefore virtually guarantee thousands of deaths of sons, brothers and fathers, is not one that can be made quickly or lightly.

    Quicker action was needed... but those who fought were unquestionably heroes, in my mind. I question the sanity of anyone as informed as yourself, who disagrees.
