one of the few necessary wars

[cartoonzrule2]

this song feels like what the war cost us from the past and today

War can always be prevented. And I would ask you to take a second look at the history you were taught.

There are no necessary wars.

[RaybornButtercups]

@TheKyoput tell that to the crew of the USS Arizona, the inmates of Auschwitz, or the Citizens of Stalingrad, that the Second World War was not necessary in the first stage of purging evil from the world. EVERY war is necessary, for every war is a climax of events. The handling, and conclusion of a war is what is reflected on a society, but the War its self can neither be prevented nor contained, because War is bred into humanity, and it will ALWAYS be there, it is a question of management.

@KikaProductions

There's no such thing as a necessary war.

You get a much better feel for the WWII situation after playing Axis & Allies, which very accurately portrays the beginning of the war. You quickly learn how critical the U.S. was, especially in the new combined Pacific and European version, where the U.S. is not allowed to enter combat until the 4th turn, unless attacked. Note that I am not talking about getting a better feel for the conditions of those fighting the war. No game could ever accurately reproduce the horrors of war.

@progrocer The Germans were also working on a nuclear bomb. Because we were active in the war, we beat them to it.

[EagleMovieMan]

@progrocer Germany had plans to invade the U.S. after they finished in Europe. They had spies mapping the U.S. and one American soldier when talking to a German soldier who spoke English at an internment camp was talking about where he lived. The German guy had helped with mapping and even knew about a tiny creek the American guy had played in as a kid. Do you really wish that we had remained passive and waited for the war to be fought on our shores, when all of our allies were already gone?

[RaybornButtercups]

@progrocer War is indeed a nessesity when you're being attacked. I think we forget, being shielded by ~70 years of history, that the Second World War was inevitable.

[MechBliss]

The world still owes the United States.

@progrocer Say that in German. Seriously.

@progrocer "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded moral state which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." JS Mill

To watch the Axis murder millions and do nothing would have been the greater sin.
