I know about the horrible things that the Japanese and Germans did...
In fact, my country was once occupied by the Japan.
Still, as I began learning more about how the wars went,
I began to wonder about how the Allies fought them.
Japanese-Americans being put into concentration camps..
the nuking of 2 Japanese cities that killed millions..
bombing of German cities....
just to name a few of the things they did.
Maybe it is easy for me to question them NOW.
But I wasn't around back then, and I would have spoken up against these acts.
Innocents must never be targeted, and that is what they did.
If they hadn't done all those things,
there would have been more Allied casualties...
the wars would have gone on much longer...
but then, isn't that the risk that those who fight on the side of good
have to take?
Nobody who kills millions of innocent people
can claim the moral high ground.
Don't take me wrong, though. I AM grateful for what they
did for us...
Your thoughts?
