*Can you imagine anyone raising a stink about a few American soldiers "humiliating" (or even torturing and killing) some Nazis? We were made of much sterner stuff back then, and it helped that our media actually wanted us to win the war*

Well-said, and absolutely correct. My grandfather, an Army Air Corps Pacific War Vet ('42-'45), would probably weep to see how wars now seem to be fought by this country--with one eye on the combat and the other on the Politically Correct reaction to it. May he continue to R.I.P.
Tojo and Hitler, it seems, launched their attacks way too early! Had they just had the forsight to make their respective empires wait until 2004 to launch their attacks, they might well have won handily, with apologies from all those who dared to resist their evil with politically-incorrect resolution and force!
I honestly doubt we could win WW II today with such P.C. silliness hobbling our military. I really do.

We laugh, but at the bitter irony of the truth.
