This article discusses a national poll of American colleges and universities about whether the U.S. should sent pilots and planes to help Britain. The report states "Interventionism has not made much inroad on the college campus; the sourness left by World War I has not completely disappeared." 19.8% voted for to help Britain and 80.2% voted not to. To the question "Should the United States declare war on Germany now?" 79% answered "No." Some qualified their responses, hinting that the U.S. might need them "if ew are in real danger of getting in war with Japan." Another asked, "why should we die for Britain?"
Note that the bombing of Pearl Harbor occurred on December 7, 1941, only 5 days later.
