Stars and Stripes: Most Americans say US right to fight WWII while 1 out of 5 don’t know
Most Americans believe the United States was right to participate in World War II but many are either skeptical or don’t know, according to a poll released ahead of the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion that kicked off the liberation of Europe.
The U.S. entry into the war, which was prompted by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, was “completely justified” or “somewhat justified,” said 66% of those polled by a YouGov online survey whose results were released Tuesday. Twenty percent said they didn’t know and 14% said it was “not very” or “not at all” justified.
Still, the survey found that among those questioned the Allied campaign in WWII received the most support, followed by the American Revolution, which six out of 10 said was justified.

WNU Editor: Only 66%?!?!?!? But the real shocker is that only 62% believe the Revolutionary War was justified.

It would be interesting to compare these figures to the numbers immediately before the launch of each war. Obviously the Afghan war would be ranked much more favorably, and then we all know how it's sort of meandered into an endless nightmare and is likely to end up with Vietnam's tarnished legacy.
37% can't take surveys.
They must have only surveyed Japanese Americans
Polls? Legitimacy? 2019? I don't think so lol!
What are you suggesting fazman? I'm Japanese American and proudly serve in the U.S. military and definitely think the U.S. had to right to go to war after Pearl Harbor. Many also served in the U.S. military during WW2.
Check your borderline racism.
