Bad things happen in wars, which is why you think long and hard, and then think again before you start them. And armies are made up of rough men hardened to death and suffering, not saints. The catalog of bad things that happened to Germans is far longer, but I don't see you weeping any tears for them. In fact, you hail the victory over Hitler as God's work.
Don’t think what they did then can’t happen today. All they have to do is come up with another righteous battle that certain citizens will buy off on.
Sounds like a pretty good description of the confederate cause.
You are correct that WWII was devastating to German civilians but, in order to compare the two situations, you would have to believe that declaring war on foreigners abroad is the same as declaring war on your own countrymen. The motives for going to war with Germany were totally different than the motives for invading the South. The Confederate cause did not include attacking, invading the North or antagonizing the North in other ways. By the way, you may not see me weeping for the German civilians but you don’t see me not weeping either.
