I beg to differ. WWII was the last time we were allowed to fight a war to win. 70 years later, there is still the discussion if our then adversary should apologize.
This is the way it should be. That is what true victory looks like.
If you f#ck with us [in the words of Mattis - our soon to be SecDef] "The survivors will write about what we do here for the next 10,000 years."
And, for the next 10,000 years they should be ever sorrowful, apologetic, and fearful that we will tire of their existence and wipe out the last remaining male remnants with extreme violence, and breed it out with their women.
Perhaps if we fought that way in the post-WWII era we wouldn't be worried about the next "lone-wolf" attack in a U.S. shopping mall because all the would-be lone wolves would be wondering what would remain of their moon rock after a 30 megaton nuke was detonated on it. They would also wonder if the napalm would be compassionate enough that they could identify the ashes of anyone in their tribe.
What has any of that to do with an apology?
