Where did your dad fight?
Mine was at Guadalcanal at the beginning of the war (as a marine), and then switched to the marine air corps in the middle, and stayed in that until the end.

I have his flight logs, all his letters and V-mail, and his diaries, as well as drawings he did, and pictures he took.

Are you suggesting I am blindly patriotic?

Fact is, I am not.

But I still do not see the relevance of the article you posted to any discussion that was being held here.

Why not post an article about atrocities committed by the Boers in Africa? Or the Japanese in WWII, or the North Koreans in the Korean War, or the North Vietnamese duriong the Viet Nam war? Or about the Serbs in Sbrenica in the 1990s?

I don't see you posting those here.

So again, what is the relevance and what is the purpose of the article you posted, other than to criticize and tear down the United States?
