The German soldiers would have been just as dead if they had fought to their last breath in Stalingrad,rather than being executed after surrender.
Hitler was a lousy military strategist.
There’s money to be made in not winning wars.
And that,is thanks to the Democratic party policy. No Republican president shall win a war started by democrats.
That was the objective. to restore the border to the post-WW2 Partition. It was never about invading the PRC or conquoring NK
We failed to fight to win, as Trump said. We stopped short of ending the war.
I have long thought exactly that.
And we used overwhelming force in Grenada.
Finally, a proper answer.
Amen
Grenada joined the Soviet bloc in 1979 when a Communist coup led by Maurice Bishop overthrew its government led by Eric Gairy. Gairy, who, among other things, believed in UFOs, is mentioned in this song, a view from left field of the numerous coups and revolutions of 1979.

No evidence of execution. They surrendered because they had not eaten in weeks. Then they were marched to POW camps and got very little food, because the Soviets also had very little. It’s not like they laid down their arms and the Soviets rushed out to them with food.
They died. Huge %. But it was starvation and consequent illness in the Russian winter. Not bullets up against the wall.
Same sort of myth about Bataan. Malaria killed en masse. Both sides. Quinine scarcity. At the end there was no big battle. The Japanese just brought fresh, uninfected troops in and they just walked in. Marched them off to POW camps, and they died enroute because there was no quinine. There was no up against the wall shooting going on.
General George S. Patton.
A little known fact about Grenada ia that when that guy blew up the barracks in Lebanon, the invasion of Grenada was already taking place and 47 hours later ground troops were engaged in battle there.
A late friend was a Marine pilot in Korea and Vietnam. When he saw the list of places they were not allowed to bomb in North Vietnam, he knew the game was fixed.
Well he’s right about that. Ukraine for example.
Apparently, President Trump NEVER gets tired of winning. Evil touched Trump on the ear and he responded with Fight Fight Fight!
Bush 41 was right. We had a mission objective during Desert Storm. Kick Iraq out of Kuwait. Once that was done, it was time to go home.
With the Department of War and the Department of the Navy.
Any questions?
So the stories of GIs forced to kill sick comrades on the Bataan death march were lies? Or the Japanese bayonetting wounded men?
The Russians executing any German soldier who had certain ID like Nazi party or SS.Nikita Kruschev telling “they are in the cold Sovi we t ground”?
War is uvly and pretending atrocities don’t happen is dishonest.
The Old Testament tells of slaugherting ALL the people men and women of a city by the victorious Israelites sparing only virgin girls.
Humans are really good at killing other humans.
