Math, you've never been to an American school. HOW DO YOU KNOW? I've never heard of anyone saying, "Man I'd really love to go to that school in Ontario." All the colleges my friends applied to were either in the US or in Europe.
As to the war, you admited in the first post you were reading this shit on Wikipedia...I could do the same thing and throw out all sorts of specifics but I use what I learned and what I remember for my arguements. It's the way I have always done political discussions and such, I discuss what I know.
I feel the big turning points in the war were:
Hitler betraying Stalin. Attacking Russia was probably the biggest mistake Hitler made in the war.
The Japanes bombing Pearl Harbor. Getting America involved leads to Allies having enough troops to spread out onto multiple fronts. Not to mention a naval base much closer to Japan with a fairly large naval presence.
And the bronze medal? Erwin Rommel. Sending Rommel to go toe to toe with Patton in Africa was a HUGE mistake. And why did he do it? Because Rommel questioned a decision? Rommel was one of Hitler's best, if not the best general he had, and he sent him off where he could do the least good. And to top it off? He didn't resupply Rommel when it was needed and Rommel lost to Patton (Who was one of the best the US had but sent off for similar reasons).
