14. Thank you! GI's are not protesters! The US military is also not technically "anti-fascist".

The US fought Germany, but I wouldn't consider the US military to be "antifascist" as much as we were trying to save our ally, Great Britain from destruction. and because Germany declared war on the United States

Much of the war efforts were to curtail attacks on Great Britain and destroy Germany's military technical advantages that it had over the British.

If we hadn't entered WWII England would have been destroyed.

Sadly, the US did not fight Germany to save Jews from concentration camps.


Freeing Jews from concentration camps happened at the end and the US only became concerned about their welfare towards the end of the war. (1944)

For years, the US knew what was happening to Jews and did nothing.

The US knew about an ongoing genocide and did nothing!!!!

If the US was truly anti-fascist, it would not have forced Jewish immigrants to return to the Nazi controlled areas.

The US refused to allow Jews to escape the Nazis and enter the US!
It would not even allow UK Jews to immigrate!


The Frank family tried to immigrate to the US and they were denied!

Anne Frank died because the US was not anti-fascist!!!


The US did not fight an ideology in WWII. We fought countries that were our enemies and destructive to the United States and our allies.

Fascism still existed in parts of the world after WWII. The US did not gather troops to save people from fascist regimes. Fascist regimes still exist all over the world and we do not go in and try to "save everyone" just because their country is run by a dictator.

The US military has never been 'anti-fascist".

If Germany had not been fascist and they still waged war on the US and Great Britain, we would have fought Germany. We fought them in WWI also.


If find equating what happened in WWII with antifa or "antifascism" does not do justice to true antifascists and the military!!!! It distorts facts and history.
