Quote:

Better historians than any of us have studied WWII.

One thing is certain - Hitler and the Japs at that time were evil and good men stopped them.



Happy, I usually agree with a lot of what you say especially concerning religious hypocrisy and this quote is right on but what is this next one all about?

Quote:

The purpose of the modern US military is to protect the interests of huge multi-national corporations and their wealthy CEOs and investors.



How does your first quote reconcile with the second? Protecting the interests of wealthy corporations is right out of the far left lunatic fringe playbook. Any free country's economy is based on the average person working for a rich one either an individual or a large corporation, ergo what's good for the wealthy is generally good for the country, within reason of course. When you said "...their wealthy CEO's and investors" you're talking about yourself if you own any stock or mutual fund even if it's through your employer.
Defending the country by definition also means defending the means of producing products which means defending the economy which means defending wealthy corporations.
Without the wealthy we have squat including health care. Without them, there's no taxes so no federal government either. I'm sure you do know that something like 60% of all income taxes are paid by the wealthy, don't you? This is what I've never understood about the left trashing big corporations and the rich. They want bigger government to fund all kinds of things yet they want to kill the goose that's required to pay for it all. The economy IS the country, without a strong economy, there is nothing left to defend.
The thousands of bombing raids into Germany were mostly all about killing the German economy. The oil fields, the ball bearing factories, the dams, the shipyards, everything necessary for a strong economy.
