Earlier I compared the Vietnam War to the Korean War. To continue that theme, I will now compare World War Two to the American invasion of Granada.
Similarities. They both involved Granada, except for World War Two, which had almost nothing to do with Granada.
Differences. In Granada, we were facing Cubans. In WW2, Cubans were busy making their country a Mafia friendly vacation spot for American gamblers.
Similarities. They both involved the deaths of millions of soldiers and civilians, except for Granada.
Differences. WW2 determined which countries would later rule the world economically, which of course turned out to be Germany and Japan. Granada just determined that a medical school would close down.
