'Murica has always treated action movies like documentaries

Remember how they didn't mostly sit out of WWII, how they didn't quite like the Nazis, and how they didn't cause massive casualties to their allies?

Oh, and they totally didn't give safe harbour to nazis when it suited them...

    This is true, the USSR might have done 80% of the fighting, but the US still mobilized its entire economy for the war and had 12% of the total population in the actual military.

    It's even more ahistorical to say they mostly say out than that the US single-handedly fought WW2.
