Speaking as an American, I think the continued mythologizing of WWII is a little dangerous.

I had studied in school that WWII in Russia is like a religion. It was only years later I came to realize it is the same thing here, just on much less obvious levels.:hmm:

Is it a coincidence that Rome became a much more decadent society within 2 generations of their defeat of Hannibal Barca and Carthage? I think for both America and Britain, the Germans and the Japanese were our Carthage.

Pearl Harbor and D-Day are big events over here. At least from a television programming perspective.
