I believe the war crimes he quotes are verifiably true.

No, liberals are getting tired of America disagreeing with them more and more.

Suggestion to liberals: Dump your present "Government runs everything" agenda, and find one that actually works (i.e. delvers what you promise it will). Then normal people might take an interested again.

Unfortunately, no one bothered to tell Emperor Hirohito that the war had already been decided before we bombed Tokyo. He thought that his country could still resist us, and in fact they were continuing to do so, as anyone who experienced the kamikaze onslaught (which was in full swing at the time that we bombed Tokyo) can attest.

Put down the Howard Zinn propaganda and pick up a real history book.

Back in WW2, American's hunted NAZI's and killed them.. heck, we almost turned it into a sport. Unfortunately, the way things are going, we might have to do it again one day in the future, only this time, it might be on our own soil.


But there's good news! The internet records and keeps everything everyone posts on social media forever.. That should make tracking them down through IP addresses much easier.

It wouldn't be written by an American.

Since you mentioned the bombing campaign against Japan, you can start with this book. It's written by an Englishman.

He has a point.... many of you promote civil war here. A hostile takeover and claime your rnds justify the means.

The former Yugoslavia is a example. A divided Nation whose factions accused, blamed and then hated each other. 100,000 perished 91 thru 93 and 95. They were on the verge of more till the Ukraine was invaded.

Those who see the US must be strong. Forget extremism leading to their furthest radical factions in their ranks to say time up.... The current strength and Empire easily lost. Many even already who lived most of their lives.... want to take back America. Not realizing they merely weaken it to fall by evolving and welcoming the most extreme factions who take the dirst shot and direction From ONE THEY SAY IS GOD SENT.

Lincoln went to war because of those who dared break up the Republic. The war was to bring it back. That he succeeded. Still as with Nazism... they do not want what they trued or were to die and revive it under a guise of Patriots and true Americans left to take it back.

Spoils of another Civil War by breaking up of the Nation will be the Humpty Dumpty who will then have that great fall and the pieces not put back together again as other Powers and Principalities......will swoop in and pick clean the spoils.

All need to watch what they wish for.....

How that would be any different than American? The same mentality (only us matter, we don't care about the others), the same colonial behavior.

Every country in the world has their dirty laundry. Some are just piled higher.

I'm retired and I don't post that much.

I would suggest reading more books and posting fewer replies.

I don't play video games.
Im impressed by your ability to dispense irrelevancies with such ease.
