  1. In 1942-43-44-45 there were many many places you did not want to be. Two in particular 1. On a Gato or Balao class submarine in the western pacific 2. A B-17-B24 4 miles above Germany

  2. On the Right there is an ongoing debate/discussion for many many years as to Who was the Worst President. Woodrow Wilson is always in the running. I'm so old I was taught about his stroke in grade school.

  4. As for him joining the Nazi party, the thing people need to understand is a large part of Nazi ideology was simply applied eugenics. By the 1920-30's eugenics was Very popular and accepted, particularly in intellectual circles. His distancing himself from the Nazi ideology Could be because he saw the implications of applying Nazi/Eugenics "theory" to real people. Alas the same ca not be said for many others/organizations who spent a lot of time/effort covering up their past.

  10.  @olliefoxx7165  Death of a ball turret gunner From my mother’s sleep I fell into the State, And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze. Six miles from earth, loosed from its dream of life, I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters. When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose.

  15.  @Caroline.123  Not in 1939. In 39 Stalin & Hitler had a real mutual admiration thing going, that lasted until 1941. You might want to read "Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin" by Timothy Snyder As Jonah Goldberg put it "Facism v Communism. Coke vs Pepsi of the 20th century."

  16. Can you imagine doing that Today? The Environmental Impact Study would take 15 years alone.

  17. In reading so many of the negative comments here I have to ask myself a couple of questions 1. How many have actually read/studied the Bible or talked to Christians about what we Actually believe and Why we believe it? 2. I wonder how many understand the culture/civilization they live in are based on that book? ie. the value of Every Person, Freedom of Speech, a rational understandable universe. I suspect the answer is (for the most part) no.

  36.  @TheHistoryGuyChannel  Thumbs Up! Thing is, if you write/say anything negative about Islam/Muslims, you can find yourself In Trouble. OTOH on The Right if you write/say anything positive about Islam/Muslims, you can find yourself In Trouble. All I can say to both Left/Right who think(?) this way is, It Must Be Nice To Live In A Black & White World.
