I'd say so.starku wrote:If America going to war stopped the holocaust
Did America not going to war earlier enable it
I'd also argue that if America going to war stopped the holocaust, Russia going to war stopped the holocaust even more. The US may have contributed a lot by having production centers that the Axis couldn't attack, but it was the Soviets who did most of the legwork in bleeding the Nazi war machine dry.
But, of course, Russia only went to war with Germany because the Nazis invaded.
So Hitler is responsible for stopping the Holocaust

Re: Godammed SDN
considering what you know about my opinion of america and my family's history with it, is saying i just don't want to hear bad stuff about "the good guys" really an accurate representation of what i'm saying
Re: Godammed SDN
I don't think he's talking to you specifically.
Re: Godammed SDN
Yeah it's just the experience people have reading actual history about their armed forces
And all the bad shit they've done and the dissonance with public perception or the shared myth
ANZAC DAY LOL
And man battle of France + America = lololol,l

"cheese eating surrendering monkey"
Yeah, don't mind how many French died during the Battle of France because they just wouldn't surrender, and how the Dunkerque Evacuation's success was only possible because of the sacrifice of French soldiers who held the line till the very end.
But I suppose America has the monopole of bravery, somehow ; or that it's so insecure about its own achievements that it has to belittle those of others to feel good about its owns, I guess ?

Re: Godammed SDN
America has the monopoly on not showing up until the war is over
This was their mistake in Vietnam
The war was actually still in doubt when they arrived!

Well, the most devastating war in US history was a pretty small brush war by European or Asian standards. Make of that what you will.Oxymoron wrote:or that it's so insecure about its own achievements that it has to belittle those of others to feel good about its owns, I guess ?

It was pretty good, I suppose. I prefer alligator, though.
I'm not fond of eating frogs, though. Frog legs always taste a little rich and fishy for me. I eat them every once in a while to remind me why I don't eat them any more often.

Sophie's choice sucks even more for nation-states than for individuals, because instead of deciding between which child lives or dies, you have to decide between hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of individuals. Who knew?starku wrote:I think there's a big gulf between that kind of acceptance and the very common deflection into 'it turned out good' or 'they did worse' or 'we were pussies afraid of bamboo spears'
Even the west needs to own its own history, not just the guys that lost, rather than running uni courses on mass murder being ok of you can spin it right afterward
Cuz the Taliban and al Qaeda are exactly like the highly centralized and hierarchical Japanese Empire during WWII and actually were trying to think about what sort of damage the US armed forces could do their civilians.Shoulda just nuked Kandahar am I rite?
Prior to '41 would have been hard for the US to go to war anyway, what with not actually amping up it's own industry until Pearl Harbor. Had Imperial Japan not attacked Pearl Harbor, it's questionable if the US would have gotten involved in WWII at all.If America going to war stopped the holocaust

FDR was chomping at the bit and it was pretty much a matter of time until we got in one way or another (probably via escalating Battle of the Atlantic)Akhlut wrote:Prior to '41 would have been hard for the US to go to war anyway, what with not actually amping up it's own industry until Pearl Harbor.
