I agree. People have a hard time making distinctions concerning war. War is war. It is NEVER pretty, it always has consequences and it is always easy for people to make comments 40 or 50 or 60 years later and condemn the decisions made by generals and those in power at the time.
As you said, we didn't start the war, we just tried to end it. I loved the line,
London was continually bombed and firebombed by the Krauts. It also had many art places destroyed. Just where is the difference??
Why aren't those same people complaining about bombing of London? You certainly don't hear their voices. But they are so quick to condemn the Allies.
