funny the only atrocities we hear about are the ones by Hitler and his regime. There is a hell of a lot more to the story.

Agreed. Thankfully there are authors such as Mark Felton who are willing to spend the time and effort to bring the truth to a wider public audience. If it were not for people like him, the historical revisionists would have us believing in an entirely different reality, and the innumerable heroic sacrifices of our soldiers would end up being made worthless. "The World According to Cindy Sheehan, Howard Zinn and Michael Moore" would be the accepted "truth" and all of Western Civilization as we know it would be lost.

I was showing you that even the N word is pretty benign unless you take the connotations of the word along with its meaning. "Jap" is the same way.
