  1. Or fickle reactionaries who apparently base their entire world view on YouTube comments ;-P

  2. "Moral armies will always try to be more lethal with less collateral damage to an immoral enemy." ---Less collateral damage? They dropped the bombs in regular cities, not strategic military targets. That's the absolute definition of purposeful collateral damage. That was the whole entire point of the bombing FFS.

  3. No, the moral is don't start a war to piss off an enemy you don't have yet. Tell me 9-11 would've happened if America had literally zero involvement in the middle east in the 20th century. I'm serious. If the USA had never stepped foot in the middle east would it have happened?

  4. Do not question anything. What a great way to further the wonderful country you live in!

  5. I'm all for losing a million soldiers (unless they're conscripted) vs a couple hundred thousand average citizens were just going about their daily business.

  6. "a bunch of tough men are willing to do violence on out behalf" That statement works both ways because it's those same people who also started the wars.

  7. He never tried to equate the way to run a war with the way to run a metropolis. Your choosing to use the word "liberal" hints that maybe you're looking at this through the lens of political ideology instead of rational objectivity.

  8. A large percentage of the US military is devoutly christian. Didn't Jesus wear camo cargos?

  9. Inaccurate relative to the claims of the actual producers of the actual product at the time. It has zero to do with what come before, during or after it by anybody else so I'm not sure why you're bringing it up.

  10. He said the sights didn't work anywhere close to what Norden claimed. Those are statistics kept by the military itself. He was just pointing that out and I'm not sure why that triggered you. The morals of war are up for debate, but the statistics aren't. The bombsight was not at all what it claimed to be. That WAS his message. So many triggered 'Muricans commenting.

  11. .....and that Iraq never invaded America so it was America invading Iraq, plain and simple. How about not getting in a war in the first place as opposed to the ONLY other option being carpet bombing?
