(62,325 posts)to those who are the victims. I saw the photos of the dead children. And I will never forget that massive crime.
No one forced this guy to kill anyone. He chose to do it and he enjoyed it.
Most veterans I have ever known did not enjoy war. Most don't even want to talk about it, let alone try to glorify it.
There were good soldiers in that war. Many of them real heroes. But none of them enjoyed it.
Yes, we killed and tortured more than a million human beings. And the killing will go on for gererations due to the WMDs we used, now causing the deaths of future generations, or children born with horrible deformities. I have followed the tragedy of Iraq which once had a better, and free, health care system than ours.
I have read about parents who have lost up to six newborns due to Depleted Uranium, and read the pleading of families to the International community to please help them.
It makes me sick to my stomach to see this murderous rampage glorified. And even sicker to know no one has ever been held accountable for it.
That man was a villain. Nazi soldiers were doing their jobs too, but the world decided after that horrific regime was finally defeated that 'just doing your job' is no excuse when the 'cause' is so horrific.
Americans don't care that we killed over a million human beings. I actually once thought they would, if they knew.
And they have no excuse, it's not like it's hidden or anything.
