While the fight fought in WW2 was undeniably for a good cause I don't think it was to "defend American democracy". America got roped into war against Japan and then Hitler apparently unilaterally declared war on the US.
We got roped into a war with Japan because they wanted to colonize the nations we already colonized, so the empires butted up against each other. Nothing ideological or principled, nor having anything to do with democracy.
sure, but being kicked off by being attacked and being largely against nations more evil than :amerikkka: makes 'defending democracy' not a totally unreasonable claim
