Now the neocons are inventng forgeries

Art,

Your problem and the reason for your screwed up perception is that you
equate emotional involvement with intellectual knowledge. No book will give
you the "feelings" associated with experiencing combat - although many come
close. Direct experience alone will not give you the in depth knowledge of
all aspects of a specific war that can be gained from reading and analyzing
the information that is available.

You experienced the emotions of combat. You refuse to experience or even
acknowledge that the intellectual / analytical side exists. That does not
make you a better person, it makes you a closed minded, vindictive, and
obnoxious little man who could be a positive example of a WW II veteran
instead of an embarrassment to those who honorably served their country in
uniform.

Why would anyone interested in WW II want to discuss it with you?

Because I'm knowledgeable on the subject, in fact I know more about it
than
at
least 1 B-26 bombardier, although that really isn't saying much.

You don't understand cabdrvr. WW II was a real shooting war. You may not
believe this but men went out on missions and some never came back. Hard
to
believe since that is war outside your personal experience. But believe
me, it
is true. I believe personal experience is worth more than just reading
books.
But maybe you should read a few books on WW II and find out what a real
shooting war is all about Of course the book will never give you the
feeling
you might get over the heavily defended Cologne marshalling yards, but try
to
imagine what it was like. If you can't experience it, you can at least
dream
about it. Then you can tell everyone how much you know about WW II.
