December 1945? Yeah, the first peacetime Christmas party! |
Yup, Dec 45 was a pretty joyous time for the US and its soldiers in particular. We'd just won the two biggest wars we had ever fought, beating opponents on the opposite sides of the world nearly simultaniously, and we were the sole posessors of the atom bomb, which everyone was saying would make war obsolete.
Yeah i'd say we were pretty happy back in Dec 45.
