What scares me, is in the not too distant future, all they will teach about WWII is going to be about Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and how “evil” we were.
Don’t forget the latest revisionism.
We brought Pearl Harbor upon ourselves because that evil Asian-hater Roosevelt cut off the Japs’ oil and scrap-metal........
One advantage to warfare from the Civil War through WWII, was that the nations fighting, that is the body of people composing those nations, had to endure a lengthy campaign taxing the entirety of the national resources. It was total war.
A major consequence of that type of strategic warfare was that it did change the volition of at least one nation, generally the loser.
Warfare, as we experience it today in the US, is so distant from the national psyche, that the only people fighting the war are those in the military itself, which is a very distinct minority. The only national perception of the war as been diluted to a comparative politic amongst cultural groups given equal standing within our body politic.
We’re a divided house and won’t stand when we allow the enemy within, nor will we likely succomb to a calamitous downfall, but we simply will experience a subtle collapse into an indiscernible quagmire. The final result might not be much more discernible than those photos of WWII Dresden after the radical Muslim influence continues to be tolerated.
The only real differences is that our national volition to oppose our enemies likely won’t change until we are defeated. Should that happen, I don’t see any other international powers with God-given virtue, such as the US had at the beginning and end of WWII to rebuild those who had been destroyed.
Perhaps we are simply a testimony for future governance that any government which tolerates such evil rejecting Christ and God’s provision, will ultimately fail.
