. Fortunatley no one whined about civilian casualties when we eradicated Hitler's Army. (I'm not even thinking of German civilians in places like Dresden. I'm thinking of French civilians.

I read recently that Allied bombing and shelling killed approximately 10,000 French civilians during the D-Day invasion operation. AFAIK no one was protesting Ike's decision to invade occupied France on humanitarian grounds, not even the French civilians. They had learned from 4 years of Nazi occupation that there are circumstances that can make living worse than death. I for one would rather die right here and now than to live under an Islamic dictatorship that enforces Sharia law.

Maybe it was on this thread (D-Day Collateral Damage) I started last week?
