loncray, Roosevelt, Dougout Doug &CF

I was reading a Novel last night and and suddenly figured out that it was written by loncray and CF.
It was set in the Pacific in about 1944 as the buildup was underway for the battle of Leyte Gulf. Several Naval Officers were sitting around shooting the bull and two of them started explaining how the war was the result of two things;
first the blundering mismanagement of international relations by the President and his cabinet followed by many wrong decisions in prosecuting the war which was leading to us being bogged down in a hopeless war resulting in tens of thousands of our troups being killed,
and,
second by the evil plots of Roosevelt, "Dougout Doug" McArthur and their wealthy friends and corporations who lied to and misled the nation in order to provoke the Japanese into attacking us so they could make huge amounts of money off the war.
Thats when it dawned on me that the book had to be written by loncray and CF; these officers were using virtually the identical arguments that loncray and CF use here. It was just like reading some of their posts on this BB.
I checked the title page and nope, their names were not there and the copyright date was over 20 years ago; must be that they are just copying the same tired old arguments that the anti-war bunch trot out for each conflict.
