In WWII, the was no lessening of the "human element of War." That is exactly the reason we went to War with the Axis powers. You are perhaps too young, to fully comprehend this overwhelming fact of life. Regardless...I can say with full certainty- you will eventually understand what WWII was really all about.

I'm not debating why we went to war in WWII. I'm just stating we reenforce our training and use propoganda to lessen the "human" element of killing.
Read Dave Grossman, On Killing : The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society, it really goes into the subject.

Bad example. In WWII the Nazis and Imperial Japanese WERE evil and nonhuman.
Just like the saying about paranoia, sometimes the enemy you demonize really is demonic.
The problem with WWII was in humanizing the Bolsheviks.

Funny, I thought I was being so nice by showing an interest, instead of laughing riotously at your fantasy of 'losing' friends and family to PTSD, Number57.
Here's a big 'ol California
"Whatever" for you, monkey.
Apackof2, is it just me, or are the newbies getting downright vicious?

The fact that he is still here is a lesson in moderator patience, but I'm guessing that we will be without his services shortly. Where would FR be without asshats like this:
I, for one, welcome our Chinese Overlords. Front Page News, the day after SOTU.

Do you suppose that he meant that he has lost friends, etc. to PTSD because they just couldn't take his erratic behavior anymore?
Perhaps he needs help, not scorn or abandonment. But, hey, that is just the nurse in me talking.
He has not flamed me yet. If he does, well, I am not the girl in red for nothing! I also have the Harm to back me up. HOWL!
