*I had considered toning this down a bit, but I really wanted to convey my anger over this ageless argument about WWII. So bare in mind that I mean no one here any disrespect at all. This is not a personal attack against any one and if you find it offensive or insulting, remember you chose to read it after I warned you.*
Read at own risk, stongly worded comment to follow. If you offend easily, do not read. If you do read and are offended, remember you chose to read it.
I always love to read how people of today judge what happened in WWII by today’s standards. I almost laugh at their logic.
Any argument based on the beliefs of today, judging that era, is flawed to the point of being useless.
So you can use your examples about what occurred in that era and try and say they were atrocities by today’s standards all you want. Unless you were alive then and lived through that time you have no right to pass judgment.
Germany firebombed England too you know.
Japan treated its POW's so horribly that many who are alive today STILL hate the Japanese people and are grateful that we dropped the H-bomb on the island not once but twice. Given the alternative, them or us, we chose them. That is the nature of war.
It how you treat your enemies AFTER you have beaten that shows the world if you’re a monster or not. The US was very generous with its enemies following the war and that record has never been questioned.
War is hell and if another world war were to come, we would all find this out first hand, and I promise you, the gloves will come off and no matter how many liberal, save you from your rights, left wing lets just surrender, flag burning, protesting, anti American Americans there are, we will do what we must to survive.
You can fire off your counter points, I won't be reading them.
