'most' I don't think so. - "Many" Yes.

The American Isolationist Movement had many members:
- Henry Ford (The Auto Maker)
- Charles A. Lindberg (The American Hero)
- Joseph P. Kennedy (The Father of JFK)
To name a few . . .

OBTW: Lindbergh served as a Civilian Employee in the Pacific.
He still ended up Flying 50 Combat Missions and Shot Down a
Japanese Enemy Aircraft that had attacked him.

RHF, you knowledge of American history has already proven to be questionable.
Earlier this week you displayed a lack of knowledge about US efforts to
exterminate Native Americans. Now, you distort history by making it appear that
there were only three Americans that supported appeasement of Hitler prior to
Pearl Harbor. For shame, sir.

Yes, FDR made sure that Lindbergh was sent to the Pacific arena, since it was a
widely known fact that Lindbergh had a second wife and family in Germany.
Joseph Kennedy was sacked as ambassador to the UK after he suggested that
England surrender to Germany. German-American friendship clubs existed in every
state of the US. There was so much political support in the US for Germany that
most historians concede that the US would've never gone to war before Germany's
ally, Japan, attacked Pearl Harbor. Remember, the US didn't enter the war until
well-after the Germans had virtually bombed London to ashes. Indeed, a number
of writers have suggested that FDR was aware of Japan's intentions to attack
Pearl Harbor, but chose to not take any actions to prevent the massacre because
he knew that the attack was the only way to get US politicians to support
fighting Hitler.

RHF, get your facts right.
