Yes, doing it my way is not the sure road to physical victory. But being liberated within is much more pure a victory than batheing in the blood of the innocent.

It's quite amazing to me that you can say this stuff while at the same time simply brushing off the mass war crimes committed by the Russians in Germany:

The Russian's rape and killing of civilians/POWs is absolutely incomparable in scale to what happened in Vietnam.
Quote:
Estimates of rape victims from the city's two main hospitals ranged from 95,000 to 130,000. One doctor deduced that out of approximately 100,000 women raped in the city, some 10,000 died as a result, mostly from suicide. The death rate was thought to have been much higher among the 1.4 million estimated victims in East Prussia, Pomerania and Silesia. Altogether at least two million German women are thought to have been raped, and a substantial minority, if not a majority, appear to have suffered multiple rape.

You take this, you brush it off and instead bring up American war crimes in Vietnam, and then go on to talk all this nonsense about being Bushido and pure in war.

As so often in war, it was to be defenceless women, girls and even elderly ladies who were to pay in pain and outrage for the crimes of their male compatriots.
Many had abortions or were treated for the syphilis they caught. And as for the so-called Russenbabies - the children born out of rape - many were abandoned.
In his fine new book, World War Two: Behind Closed Doors, the historian Laurence Rees points out that although rape was officially a crime in the Red Army, in fact, Stalin explicitly condoned it as a method of rewarding the soldiers and terrorising German civilians.
Stalin said people should ' understand it if a soldier who has crossed thousands of kilometres through blood and fire and death has fun with a woman or takes some trifle'.
On another occasion, when told that Red Army soldiers sexually maltreated German refugees, he said: 'We lecture our soldiers too much; let them have their initiative.'

Yes, please continue to praise Stalin and bring up Vietnam when you feel the need to change the subject. Am I defending what happened in Vietnam? Hell no. I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy.
