I saw this on a tshirt the other day, and it pissed me off! Why? are we rooting for a 3fer? When did the USA get a trophy and bragging rights over the rest of the world. Why in the world would someone make the tragedy of war into a pithy saying and wear it on their backs? I don’t care if I’m recreationally ourtaged I don’t like it!
It beats the hell out of “Back-To-Back World War Runner-Ups”, which I understand is all the rage in Germany. 
On the back it should say: Then we CRUSHED THE VIET CONG…almost…
I believe the judges decision goes to the UK and USSR respectively. Maybe you can win the 3rd?
I don’t think anybody is claiming Russia won World War I. And France didn’t win World War II.
So it’s America and Britain advancing to the final round.
Tweet! US is disqualified from the trophy in both cases for failing to play the full matches; late entries don’t count.
And Australia, and Canada, and India, and New Zealand, and South Africa, and Newfoundland.

perfect pithy comeback thank you!
Interesting history about the the eastern front here
all i know it takes a village to end a ww and fuck the 3rd
Canada should get a penalty for almost having a mutiny over draftees being sent into combat.
If you can’t all agree fighting the Nazis is a good cause maybe you shouldn’t have pride in fighting decades later.
Vietnam having consecutively beat France, the US, and China should at least be promoted several weight classes.
I saw a meme the other day with a good frog saying “stay out of Iran” and a bad frog saying “but three time world champs does have a nice ring to it”
Praise to the Loyds above that we do not base our military policy on internet memes.
Interesting that they think that would trigger World War III.
I doubt they sincerely believe it would trigger WW3 or that it should be a serious consideration when determining policy. It was a light-hearted Internet joke.
Ah, conservative humor. Now I understand.
Yup, invading other countries is always good for a giggle.
So are people that get bent out of shape about it.
I’m always amused when the British talk about how America came into the war late in 1941.
China’s asking what Britain was doing in 1937 when the war started.
US should get a penalty for actually having draft riots that killed over a hundred people, rather than send men into combat against a white supremacist regime in the 1860s.
If you can’t all agree that fighting to free slaves is a good cause, maybe you shouldn’t have pride in fighting a century later.
