Yeah. The game's campaign messages contain some very poor taste comments. The one about Mexico is among the worst. There's a similar one about China (which had been fighting the Japanese for years), another about the Aleutians, another about Elba and one about the RAF.

Then there are some plain weird ones: the Solomon islands are routinely misspelled, apparently a developer thinks Caen is Cannes - I never heard of a film festival in Caen. Then there's the 'liberate Florence' one, the 'Rumanian vampirism' one and the 'Go make a screenshot' one - just odd.
