Yesterday I mentioned that a co-worker of mine claimed that the United States was not really the deciding factor in World War 2. She claimed that the tide of the war had already turned against the Germans by 1941 (and I did use the date). Since I am always committed to communicating the truth, I brought up the issue again today. She told me that she probably had World War 2 confused with World War 1. My initial discussion with this co-worker was far too lengthy and contained for too many details to make this confusion understandable. However, I am relieved to know that my co-worker had not actually been taught such a ridiculous lie as I originally thought.
