Besides, the US was also fighting Japan at the same time, Russia wasn't. As to American history, our schools teach the next generation how evil their own country is and that they should hate their own country. In fact, I doubt any other nation teaches their own history as critically as the US does. It's almost like self mutaltion.
I wish they did get back to teaching like they did in the 40's and 50's, sure it was mostly propagandist bunk, but at least the people grew up loveing thier country.

I have to agree my last history teacher was not afraid to tell us about mistakes on part of the u.s. He was very critical of the government to the point that he seemed biased. I don't know if i would rather have had an education where the u.s. is perfect. I like being able to create my own ideas but in this day and age it is hard to learn all of the facts. It would make it easier if people understood that you should not be anti whatever your country is because you disagree with some things it does. It makes it hard to function when everyone is worrying about political parties and elections. It is childish to make your whole view of somthing on small parts of the whole thing.
