Responce to Editorial 4

It’s about time that the Americans got over here. All that remains of Europe is Great Britain and without American Support I don't know how much longer The UK can last. But I have felt just a little relief since the Americans arrived in North Africa; relief from the Germans. Although they may just be attacking a pointless region in the desert the Germans have noticed and have shifted their attention to the Americans. After all how can the Brits and any French soldiers left in the UK possibly create an actual fighting force that would be able to crack that German line on the French coast in our current state?

Although the Americans do seem to be taking a detour through Northern Africa I'm just glad that they finally joined this war. We need all the help we can get. And besides that trying to penetrate from northern France would probably a death sentence anyways. I’ve heard the reports about what Germany has been doing to areas of the northern French coast; machine gun emplacements everywhere. So even if the Americans are taking a de4tour I am glad that they are at least fighting, both the Germans and the Japanese.

As for the troops of Vichy France all I can say is you traitors. Everyone else in France fled to England or died trying to get here, but it was a noble death. Whereas you decide to side with the Germans: those Hitler lovin, overly aggressive, and presumably evil, Germans. You don't deserve to call yourself French.

Sincerely
Shelwin Brown
