I don’t know where all the Pollacks came from but both my dad and I married Polish chicks so apparently there are a lot.
Remember, there is nothing in the constitution permitting us to go to war in Europe in the 40’s.
We could have just defended ourselves from Japan and called it a day.

Dan: Jackson Pollack was an artist. Polack is slang for someone of Polish descent.
While we did declare war on Japan following the Pearl Harbor attack, we did NOT declare war on Germany and Italy. Both Germany and Italy declared war on us, and thus we found ourselves embroiled in the European conflict, as well as the Pacific War. The rest, as they say, is history.
