Okay then, so what you have been putting out as claims etc are actually your opinions. Which ohioWfan says that you have not backed up either one yet.

[ohioWfan]

Pinging a few Canteen folks to respond to narby's attack on the behavior of our U.S. Military during WW II based solely on the diary of Charles Lindbergh.

Comments or responses to these unfounded accusations anyone?

Please ping any with information to refute these attacks.

Thanks.

[ohioWfan]

Good point, Running Wolf.

Which are Lindbergh's claims (not backed up) and which are narby's 'opinions' (not backed up either)?

[metmom]

Nor has he answered any questions about his nationality of term of military service, another true blue evo characteristic; act like an authority with no credentials to back them up.

One questionable *source* with anti-American leanings is not enough to refute what thousands of soldiers have had to say.

So what if the military took no prisoners alive? So what if it was their policy? If the orders came from on high, then the soldiers were obligated to obey them and should then be held blameless; it was not their decision and there are penalties for disobeying orders. But I guess something that basic would escape some on this thread.

[ohioWfan]

Anti-American bias, arrogance, and lack of evidence. Great combo.

And yet stubborn enough to keep up his charade for hours.

I am highly suspicious as to who exactly this person is, and what his motives really are.......certainly not our 'enlightenment,' that's for sure.

[RunningWolf]

I don't know what the policy if any was. But the logistics and realities of the Pacific theater (as far spread out as it were) would drive towards that direction without a policy. We simply did not have the resources for it I would guess though. I mean we were fighting strategic wars with 2 separate forces bent on world domination.

To make a close parallel back to the Pacific theater, 99.999% of the time submariners of any nation did not attempt rescue of the survivors just to expend national resources to house them for the duration of the war.

[RunningWolf]

Well you suspect arrogance and stubbornness.

That is certainly enough ingredients for the result seen :-)

[ohioWfan]

None of us who did not experience WWII combat situations (or any at all) can fathom the magnitude and horror of that conflict.

But, IMO, to sit here sixty years later and claim to want to launch an investigation into our own military's so-called 'atrocities' on some phony quest for 'truth' is irresponsible.......and appalling.

[ohioWfan]

Indeed.

[Tamar1973]

It's well known that Lindbergh opposed our participation in WW2 in the first place. He was a staunch pacifist.

While he lived in Europe in the 1930's, he toured air force installations all over Europe, including the German Air Force. Hermann Goering, gave Lindbergh a high German decoration, which Lindbergh accepted at the time and so far as I know never recanted or sent back.

He was also involved in the America First movement of the time, which was accused by some of being antisemitic.

I don't think if Lindbergh as an unbiased source of information on this point. Was he as bas as Murtha is now? No, but I don't think he was pro-military, even thought he did serve in WW2.

[ohioWfan]

Thank you for that added info, Tamar.

An unreliable source at best.

[metmom]

Building a case on an unreliable source is what some people are best at.

[snippy_about_it]

Garbage. I wonder if narby is really Carlos. The only place I can find this type of talk, including the Lindberg stories he relates is a fanatical anti American site. They are Holocaust deniers also.

Mind you, I'm not saying he is one but he's been reading some pretty bad stuff and could use a history lesson. He is mixing fact and fiction and that's never good.

Lindberg did fly missions in the Pacific Islands. He was working as a contractor for Henry Ford. He actually shot down a Japanese plane. Ran some dozen or so missions and went home. Made comments about us not taking prisoners. He thought the Japs would surrender if we just wouldn't shoot them. He did some strafing runs. He didn't know combat and neither does the poster making the uneducated comments. Lindy had an opinion...big deal. We differ. I don't think we should ever take prisoners. We didn't commit atrocities, we were fighting a war. Big difference. What the Nazi's did and what the Japanese did was commit premeditated atrocities. We shot our enemies in order to not have to fight him another day. Smart move, imho.

I'm pretty sure we can ignore him, so much so that I didn't even go back to see if I had his name correct. No point in educating this person. Not worth the effort... Some are but I can see this one isn't.

Thanks for the heads up though.

[Tamar1973]

My dad was in Korea and he never really talked about the war, but years after he died, my mom told us that he said that after what he saw there, there can be no God.

Well the NK and Chinese armies certainly conducted their side of that war as though they had no God to answer to. They are going to be in for a big surprise at Judgment Day.

[ohioWfan]

LOL! Isn't THAT the truth!

[Tamar1973]

Many Japanese Christians (there have been Christians in Japan for around half a millennium) were crucified during World War 2 by their own government--and were persecuted for a long time before that.

The ones the Japanese didn't kill, we killed ourselves when we nuked Nagasaki, which had the largest % of Christians in Japan.

[ohioWfan]

Wow. Thanks for that very informative and illuminating post about the potential source for this garbage.

[Tamar1973]

Made comments about us not taking prisoners. He thought the Japs would surrender if we just wouldn't shoot them.

Sounds like the Murtha/Pelosi gang of today.

[RunningWolf]

And that shows us that the surrender monkey libs are as screwy now as they were back then.
