I hope you at least have a good war story for that one.

Hi, Cowboy!

When I read his post I was pretty shocked about the state of Austrailian education until he revealed that he's an American - that explains his ignorance of world history. After all, we're all alike, right?

It was just too disillusioning to think that you weren't a lone intellectual iconoclast/pioneer out there. But your position is secure, dude.

I've read that German youths are starting to whine they were mistreated in the war too. Hello assholes, your people decided to take on the world. What did you expect?

Both of those countries were destroyed, and then rebuilt by the United States and her allies. That is unprecedented in the history of warfare. Alexander the Great came the closest to treating the people he conquered as well as we did, but they were also now part of his empire so he had a vested interest.

You're assuming the US would have won.










Dude, are you kidding me?

The Japanese have practically no natural resources. Their people were starving while they were waging war against the Allies on their second front. After conquering Hitler, all of that might and destruction was going to be focused on Japan. Even Yamamoto knew, and went on record saying, the Japanese were going to lose the day he launched the attack at Pearl Harbor. The Japanese industry couldn't even make good enough ball bearings to copy the plans of aircraft engines the Germans gave them. It was always totally hopeless for a victory for Japan.

You have one twisted view of history...how's that working out for you?
