War is hell, as someone once said.
No answer to my World War II question?
Sherman was a mass murderer of innocents, his own fellow Americans, a mass murderer of innocent women and children..when there was no need- except to sate the blood thirstiness of a psychopathic killer.
Sherman himself admitted after the war that he was taught at West Point that he could be hanged for the things he did. But in war the victors always write the history and are never punished for war crimes, no matter how heinous. Only the defeated suffer that fate.
Let me ask you again; if the commander of US forces in Iraq ordered his unit to march across the nation and burn every building they come across, strip the land clean of any source of food or supplies, destroy any and all livestock they come across and loot and rape, what would you think of him? War criminal, perhaps? That’s exactly what Sherman did, yet he’s considered a hero.
Sherman was a psychopath who mass murdered his own fellow Americans, raped, looted and destroyed all in his bloody march to the sea- including innocent animals by the thousands and thousands.
He should have been hung for crimes against humanity. But I'm sure he's roasting in Hell for his heinous crimes.
