A touching story. Especially considering the guy's capacity to forgive.

I agree that this stuff shouldnt be forgotten... but it will be.

200 years from now people will be speaking about WW2 in a disconnected, matter of fact manner in the same way people speak of wars like the American civil war, or the Boer war.

The best way to make people realise war sucks is to use present day examples or more recent ones.

Guantanamo bay among other US prison camps are still open.... people are being held without trial and tortured.

It seems like America learnt nothing.
