You’re just easy to spot

Self righteous emotive and superior yet resort to ad hominem and straw men from jump street

You’ll do well here

But back to your fallacy

The moral righteousness of a fighting force has little to do with their effectiveness as a battle unit simply because when the war is taking place most men on either side think they are right

Cases in point

Romans

Huns

Vikings

Invading Saxons

Invading Normans

Mongols

The Saladins armies

More modern era:

the Mahdi

Shaka Zulu

Conquistadors

Comanches on massacres

Sherman’s marches

Quantrills raids....to be fair

The Moros

Imperial Japan ...read accounts of a island hoppers

Prior mentioned Wermacht especially on eastern front

Red army.....same sphere

North Koreans and Chinese

Viet Cong

Taliban

A brief list....all whose tactics or side was immoral or unjust but effective and respected by their foe

I understand all of those forces you mention that thought that their agendas were right, but yeah it was perverted and of moral ambiguity. There is no way everyone thought that destroying the world and killing off a race was ok in the case of the Nazi. They were brainwashed and subjected to a totalitarian dictator. Hitler and his cronies knew exactly what they were doing (ever hear of propaganda?) they did not have the primitive minds of those ancient and early history military forces much smarter and advanced. You get what I’m saying? The Nazi were intent and deliberate criminals. They were not respected maybe by you because you love them and probably want to be one and would proudly join the ranks of the Fuhrer Hitler at the time go on to run Auschwitz or something escape justice live a long life get found living in the US told to leave and still get paid social security, hmmm? What is respected is the valiant and courageous fighting men of the allied forces and the Russians at Stalingrad.

Stop mongering war its ugly, brutal, and expensive. Have you fought in battle? Say, close quarters feeling the warm spray of blood on your face and seeing the light in a mans eyes fade away? Think of all the good that could be done with the money spent on war(s) and the munitions/supplies/equipment/machines/etc.
