Ummmm, I think most of the allied would disagree with you there. you came in the last few months and took all the glory. We fought the war for years. Don't get me wrong, it was nice for you to have our backs but it's hard to appreciate Americas when you think you won it single handedly. Also when you said what have the ever done for the world, well here's what we have done... Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, William shakespeare, Francis Crick, Michael Faraday, Tim berners-lee, Charles Babbage, Alan turing, Stephen Hawking, James Watt, The Beatles, Queen, The Rolling stones, Led Zeppelin, Ismbard Kingdom Brunel, Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Charles Dickens, J.R.R. Tolkien, Alexander Fleming, George Stephenson, Charlie Chaplin, etc...

actually, you're wrong. WWII started in september 1939 and we joined in late 1941. Then we all fought until May, 1945. You're thinking of WWI when the war started in august 1914 and we joined in april 1917 and fought until nov 1918.
as for what we've done for the world... we invented the steamboat, the telegraph, the electric lightbulb, the movie camera, the phonograph, the airplane, nuclear weapons, the integrated circuit, the CCD, and the internet. Our military power also kept the Soviet Union out of Western Europe for more than four decades. That last fact alone should be enough to convince anyone that the US has done some good for the world.
Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it
