Glad we can agree on that bit about Sanger, at least. Though I do think we’d need to be absolutely consistent regarding who deserves what (which means that, ultimately, if we’re going to blame Germans as irredeemable for the holocaust as you indicated in some posts, you might as well blame us Americans for what Sanger pulled. Only fair and consistent after all, and this is speaking AS an American, a conservative one at that.). Not disagreeing with you about Dresden. Actually, I agree it definitely needed to be done ESPECIALLY under Total War precepts (and besides, the Nazis did far WORSE atrocities that stifle the imagination like battle plans to basically raze an entire compound filled with military staff of an enemy with flamethrowers without them even seeing it coming. One of these plans were actually leaked to their enemy, and the enemy didn’t do a thing to stop it because even THEY were in utter disbelief that they’d be capable of such a thing due to how heinous it was.).
