  Bombing the snot out of civilians was sorta de rigueur in WWII. If you want to get on your high horse, the Tokyo fire bombings were far, far worse. That sort of thing doesn’t go well for people in bamboo and paper houses.

  And then you had the Imperial Army, who was so over the top even Nazis were like, “Maybe tone it down a bit?” So maybe chill on American “war crimes”, unless you have the stomach to read about Japan’s actions.

  Funny thing about bombing civilians in the European Theatre, it was all a bit of a mistake. A German mission was a tad lost and bombed London. So Churchill said, “Oh yeah? Well fuck you too!”

    I’m of the opinion everybody was shit in that war and it’s important for countries to recognize the shit they’re responsible for. Germany should be an example of what to do when your country literally commits genocide.

    No you don’t understand, America is The Great Satan and anything they’ve done is wrong and their citizens deserve it.
