Having taken a WWII history course in college and much reading I pointed out that trying to apply today's standards to us back then makes no sense.

They sneak attacked us to destroy our fleet and killed civilians too.
Then enslaved many countries Korea, China, etc
They acted truly barbaric to US troops and the countries they invaded.
They turned their troops into suicide bombers

It wasn't Vietnam or Iraq, nothing like them.

Bringing them to their knees was the most appropriate.

Especially attempting to apply the moral standards of today, which are greatly diminished and debased (where Christianity is bashed and attacked and sodomy is considered a sainted act), to past actions.

We have a local leftist idiot who writes letters to our newspaper editor and editorials attacking Andrew Jackson and his “genocide” against Native Americans. It’s a direct assault on my Scots-Irish 4xgreat grandfather, my 3xgreat grandfather and his 2 brothers who lived here in Middle TN, moving from NC around 1800. The Creek Indians were launching attacks here and my aforementioned 50-year old gggg grandpa and his sons, all of whom were humble farmers, had little choice but to follow Gen. Jackson and make a foray into Alabama to put this to a halt, otherwise it would’ve continued indefinitely with countless more casualties. To this local idiot, he’d have been fine with the countless more casualties that would’ve resulted (to the point, he would prefer it to be genocide of Whites by the Creeks, Cherokee, et al).

I get really sick of these “enlightened” idiots whose half-baked opinions of these subjects, if followed, would’ve ended in far worse results.
