Because the Russians did almost nothing.
We destroyed the Jap Navy.
We took back the islands in the Pacific
We bombed their homeland
We mounted the greatest submarine warfare ever seen in the Pacific
WE DID THE WORK, not the revisionist history your are learning.
If anyone else deserves credit you can see the Aussies and Brits for that.
ETA: Lets also remember we fought around the entire globe, with oceans between our capital and the battlefields. We supplied the allies, we carried the damn thing. The russians served as a meat grinder, thats about it.

Tell that to the 30+ million Russian civilians that died, at a time when the total population was just over a hundred mil. That's like full-on "Red Dawn" in the US with about half the population killed or injured.
I'm as
as they come but the amount of blood spilled by Russia is incomprehensible in modern terms.This post was edited on 5/31/16 at 3:05 pm
