Im reminded of a short piece of grainy black & white film, showing old bearded men in their 80s and 90s, many wearing pieces of their old uniforms and medals, embracing each other and shaking hands with those who they once tried to kill. If they would have known, they would have been embarrassed, no sickened, at the thought that 145 years after the war some of their great great great grand children would still think like you.
You want to run cover for these two despicable creatures, have at it. Just stop your whining already.
