"the aim of the Combined Bomber Offensive...should be unambiguously stated as the destruction of German cities, the killing of German workers, and the disruption of civilized life throughout Germany. The destruction of houses, public utilities, transport and lives, the creation of a refugee problem on an unprecedented scale, and the breakdown of morale both at home and at the battle fronts by fear of extended and intensified bombing, are accepted and intended aims of our bombing policy. They are not by-products of attempts to hit factories." ~~~ Arthur Harris

“Bomber” Harris was a Brit. He didn’t define US policy for our bombing campaign. Do you really believe that your Dad was a war criminal? The Brits pursued a campaign of massive night attacks to wipe out population centers. We didn’t. What did you do - give up your citizenship? As I have stated before, you sound like Jane Fonda, not a navy veteran.
