All things considered, war is hell.. and when you have a relentless foe bent on destroying everything in their path, you can only stop it by turning the people against those who started it to begin with.. and it was working. Just not fast enough. Sadly, when all our vets are gone, there will be no more witnesses to the atrocities committed. Why do you think Patton brought in photographers to the death camps.. because some yahoo is gonna say it never happened <- I'm paraphrasing. Doesn't any one remember the reports of ME262 pilots firing on SS Panzers for shooting their own ground troops on the Russian front? Yup, Hitler told them too. I have a great respect for all vets. They did the job a lot of others couldn't or wouldn't do. Most importantly, did we learn from it? I sure as hell hope we did.
