PING to those from The Foxhole + assorted patriots...check out this article, then check out posts #38, #75, #88. Just wanted everyone to see what lurks among us and bring in some extra fire power.

Oh my gosh . . . . This might be the worst example of a war crime I've come across, short of the Nazi attempt to kill every Jew in Europe. And narby's reaction is to bash America and accuse our troops? Gotta be an agenda at work.

You really don't get it, do you?

At the end war is murder, thats all there is to it, and yes sometimes you cant take prisoners.

But that anyone might see a moral equivalent to US mass fire bombings on Tokyo etc to the personal sadism the Japs inflicted upon those they had conquered, is beyond the pale.

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.

"bring in some extra fire power."

So you figuratively whistle to your posse or freepers who have similar ideas to you so that you can bully those with dissenting views to yours into submission?

How boorish.
