No one is bullying you around.
Your unsubstantiated accusations of our men in uniform and your saying "the Japanese were bad, but so were we" is a far cry from your claims of an innocent quest for 'truth.'
You need to be watched.
No. Only NewLand calling all his buds over to help him out against me.
Your unsubstantiated accusations
Lindberghs diaries would be admissable in court as evidence.
You need to be watched.
You're paranoid.
There's only one around here who's paranoid, and that's the one who is falsely accusing honorable men without any proof, and somewhere deep down in his soul, knows it...........that would be YOU.
If you don't have anything to hide, why are you afraid to have others read what you've said?
Horrific, simply horrific.
If I was afraid, don't you think I'd stop posting? You have a vivid imagination about your effect on me.
only one around here who's paranoid ..........that would be YOU.
People who are paranoid write posts about who should be watched.
If you don't have anything to hide, why are you afraid to have others read what you've said?
NewLand didn't call his buds over here to "strike fear into me". He called them over because he ran out of ideas to attack me, and he wanted help. It's a standard bully tactic to gang up on someone, in case you haven't noticed, and NewLand pinged his gang.
Lindbergh's words were hidden away, ignored by historians in his diary for 65 years. I've done google searches on this issue, and nothing turned up. But now because NewLand and his buds have ganged up and stretched this discussion out far longer than it should have been, the crawlers will have picked up this thread, cataloging terms like "American Atrocities", and "murder on the battle field", in relation to "South Pacific" and other words. I'm not afraid to repeat what Lindbergh witnessed, because the truth needs to get into the open, and being on FR it will. The more you string this discussion along, the more google links are made.
If killing Japanese troops trying to surender happened, then those that committed it covered it up the right way. They repeated the mantra "the japs refused to surrender, the japs refused to surrender, the japs refused to surrender". What you and NewLand should have done was repeat that mantra, and then shut up, just like the soldiers that committed the crime (and surely there were at least one or two instances of murder on the battlefield, the only real question is how extensive it was). Had you shut up, this record would have not been made. And you would not be looking like you're struggling to cover something up.
From now on you can post to your heart's content and imagine that you are doing something of historic significance by maligning men who fought and died for our freedom and are not around to defend their honor against the 'diary' of one solitary man who didn't believe in their cause.
I'm sure you'll find more support for this 'noble' effort on lefist websites.
Good day, narby.
Matthew 7:6
Indeed.
You've yet to post anything from Lindbergh's War Journal, let alone that he was an eye witness to the murder of Japanese soldiers. All you've done so far is make unsubstantiated charges, without even citing your primary source. For someone who is so interested in the truth, you have a funny way of showing it.
Personally, I think your behavior on this thread is anything but honorable.
You're free to believe whatever you want, but until you bring evidence of your accusations, you're just another fool with big mouth.....
You describe the liberal mentality perfectly. "Can't we all just get along".
IOW...disruptor. No facts. No honor. No game. Lots of opinions...and you know that saying about opinions.
Some things never change.
The biggest point is that atrocities are a part of war both on a large scale and individualized. However, we (U.S.) didn't establish gas chambers to methodically eliminate people like the Nazi's or have medical staff like Unit 731 disecting live prisoners for experiements as the Japanese did.
Sure, we shot people surrendering, Germans, Japanese and probably others. I'm sure we probably burned villages and shot women and children. War is hell but I don't believe our "atrocities" committed by an individual or small group compare at all to the methodical commission of crimes against humanity that our enemies carried out. War isn't pretty and when you see your buddy's head blown off and then the enemy that did it throws his hands up in the air to surrender I don't think it should be considered an atrocity when the surrenderer gets shot. Too bad, so sad. I'm on our side. I say, take no prisoners. I wish we weren't taking them now.
Ok, I'm ranting now and better stop. Thank you for your service RunningWolf.
Your welcome. I was trying to remain calm. :-)
Your = You're.
I hate when that happens.
If someone has legitimate evidence of war crimes, I'm willing to hear them out. But what's going on in this thread is beyond the pale. I haven't seen one shred of evidence to support the accusations that are being made here, and it's simply irresponsible to assume that they did indeed happen.
War isn't pretty....it never is, and bad things happen, but considering the state of the world at that time, I'm not about to casually second guess the behavior of our troops from where I am sitting right now, especially when the vast majority of those troops carry the dignity and honor of service during that time, to their graves, even to this very day.
I'm not one to stifle opinion, but there comes a time when one either has to put up, or shut up....and that time has come.
If narby now wants to substantiate his opinions with facts, then fine. Otherwise, the time has come to shut your fucking mouth.
True, of course. But, in this case, the 'poster' in question is merely trying to bait people to get frustrated or lose their composure, hoping they get banned. He's part of that group who mostly have been banned and formed an obscure anti-FR website.
Don't fall into the trap, beware. He has no interest in facts, and I question everything he has said about himself as well, including nationality.
I understand where you're coming from though.
I do want to commend you, and others, for your posts.
DC has hidden threads that are not open to public viewing. They're probably shredding this thread over there now.
I'm not sure who mentioned it upthread, but there had to have been a challenge of where to put thousands of prisoners on the islands of the South Pacific. In time of war, when your enemy is not going to give up and will perhaps cannibalize you if you are captured, it wouldn't be at all surprising if there were orders to shoot prisoners.
War is messy, and we had to win it, but putting that on a moral equivalence with pre-meditated torturers and butchers is insane.
I'll tell you what bugs me the most and has made me come back to this thread........this is EXACTLY what the left is doing with our soldiers in Iraq. Putting a handful of war crimes (that are dealt with by the military) in the same moral category as the terrorists who are literal monsters.
With the unsubstantiated charges having been made on this particular thread, I doubt this person supports our troops in harm's way presently either.
