The children today just don’t have ANY idea of war.
Wonder what the phrase "Remember Goliad means? I doubt it affected those guys in Texas.
When we left all those people to fend for themselves in the Pacific, some one made that decision. My brother in law survived the Bataan Death March. I doubt he was interested in taking any prisoners.
I know for a fact we were not seeking to take any prisoners when we took Iwo.
We fire boomed innocent Japanese and Germans on a daily basis. We bombed factories with civilian forced labor, and we bombed them to the ground.
Now we allow the enemy to hide as civilians among the population, before that we perfected the bombing of empty fields and established the Kings X line concept which let the enemy attack and then take safe haven. Thank you Harry and you did so well in WW I.
