When I was stationed in Hawaii my daughter’s teacher (8th grade) asked the class if they thought it was right that the US dropped the atomic bombs on Japan. My daughter said, “Yes. Because they started the war and we had to stop it.” He proceeded to talk about the horrors of the bomb.
I told her to ask him about the things you mentioned. When she did he simply asked where she had heard about them. She said, “From my dad. He loves history.”
The teacher (of Japanese decent) told her, “The school doesn’t feel you are mature enough to learn those things. But you will learn them in high school.”
In the same year they were showing videos of the Holocaust in Europe but none of the Japanese atrocities. She never heard about any of it when she got to high school either.
The Left brayed about us winning WWII in shorter time than it was taking to fight the Iraq war.
The US entered WWII several years into the battle.
The US ended WWII with 2 atomic bombs.
We ceased being at war AGAINST Iraq in short order. Saddam was toppled (and captured) rather quickly and a new government established. After that we fought terrorists alongside Iraqis.
Saying that the “insurgency” meant that the war was not over leads to the conclusion that the Civil War waged for 100 years because the Democrat insurgency (the KKK) battled, tortured, killed, terrorized, and subverted the political process for about that long.
Anytime the Left says “end this war, WWII was won more quickly” suggest using nuclear weapons as the Democrat president did.
