Yes, Malmedy. Where his Waffen-SS troops massacred US POWs in the snow.

But Dietrich is gazing approvingly from down in Hell on some Freepers today, Mark. Can't you see him using Cacique's words in an address to the Leibstandarte Division?

The only morality in war is to win. To maximize casualties on the enemy population and minimize casualties of your own. The only rule is victory by any means necessary. That is the logic of war.

Well, our side does not usually specifically target innocent civilians, their side does, always, like in New York, maybe our latest Pearl Harbor. My mom was 21 when Pearl harbor was attacked, and she tells me that she has never seen such anger in America, since Dec 7th, 1941.

RE: Your post #139

I see you engage in cheap shots, when incapable of countering logic you resort to comparing your foe to Nazis. I find that rather insulting since my grandmother and two of my aunts spent time in German concentration camps.

However, you seem to be incapable of separating the necessities of war from your moral prejudices. How one treats POW's who are no longer combatants or a population in a zone under your jurisdiction after it has been liberated from enemy control is a totally separate issue. You seem to be confused and are unable to tell the difference.

I suppose the reason you did not reply to my post #133 is because you cannot refute the logic.
