USA Memorial day a two edged sword.

May 25, 2013 by Syd

This coming Memorial day Monday 27th May America with the exception of Liberal Progressives and the President and his advisers take some time to remember the dead that have fallen in America’s wars justified or not.  A lot of men and women gave their lives for their country and in the fight against the Axis you can say they fought in a just war and for that most of us are grateful.  As for some other wars I feel sorry for those that died on the political whim of their masters in Washington in their pursuit of policy, oil, money and drug running on a massive scale.

However for all those that gave their lives for a cause or were maimed there were those that dishonored their nation and flag, the 3500 known rapes in England (146), France and Germany during WW2, the marines raping their way through Okinawa but not among other troops and the multiple massacres of prisoners by American troops in Germany or the neglect that led to over 75,000 POW’s dying under their care, the lessons of Andersonville had been sorely lost on the army.

Yes before you say it the enemy committed far far worse actions and that is true but if you are supposed to be the good guys of a God fearing nation why did these things happen?  The sad thing is most of these crimes went unpunished and even today atrocities are still being carried out and the lessons of Nuremberg forgotten.  I checked the British and Empire armies for similar acts of barbarism and they don’t even come close. 

However saying all that I still salute the majority the 99% that were good and deserve our respect.

    Probably all old hat to a professional, but I found this interesting

    Amanda’s presentation is getting pretty slick in her more recent vids.

      Should make for interesting reading proving that he wins the wars gets to write the histories, no country is ever far from perfect and lots of nasty things get buried by everyone.

    A brave and very much needed post.

    The post surrender deaths of German civilians by starvation appear to have been a deliberate and planned policy
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgenthau_Plan#Food_policy

    The contents of the genocidal Morganthau plan were known to the Nazi leadership, and gave them reason to continue resistance to the end – costing lives and resources on both sides.

    Imperial Japan had been making peace overtures via Moscow since at least January 1945 – they were dismissed as “premature” and the retention of the emperor was considered un acceptable…

    Carpet bombing of cities, incendiary bombing of tokyo, amphibious invasions and two nuked cities later, the emperor was retained

    Stalin’s joining of the war on Japan (on paper only) only days before the surrender earned the Soviets half of the Korean peninsula

      Well I was finally tired of being told how bad my own country Britain was and how wonderful America is and can do no wrong in war. Well the truth has to be told. Lets remember alright but remember the truth they love to tell us how evil we are but lets shine the light on them for a change. Sometime in the future America will lose a major war on it’s home soil and it’s leaders will discover that they too are not immune to war crimes trials.
