that's ridiculous. the only war really going on at that point was in europe. japan blindsided us, and then germany declared war to support japan against us. i'd imagine hitler bargained japan would keep us busy in the pacific, but FDR agreed with churchill to focus much of our forces on europe, as hitler was considered the bigger threat...
and of the four, i suppose truman. second choice would be wilson.
and randall, flip flop washington and lincoln. people forget how fragile our brand new 'united' states was in those early days.
