I worked with a German engineer who was 11 when the US Army rolled through his town. He and his friend filled their coat pockets with rocks to throw at the US soldiers. The soldiers threw Hershey candy bars back at them. So they emptied their pockets and filled them up with candy bars.

Yes, indeed, and I bet this act of kindness by the American soldiers dispelled the propaganda, which the boys had been fed throughout their lives, in an instant.

The media lie? Same old, same old….
