Arrogant, ignorant and meaningless.

The only difference between him and your average war criminal is that he
was on the winning side

My assessment of you stands. You are of course entitled to your opinion.
Thanks, mainly, to guys like Tibbets who risked their lives so that it
could be preserved for you.

Had Japan or Germany won the war you would not now have the ability to
accuse their warriors of war crimes in a public forum.

I think he was saying that if Japan or Germany had won the war they would
have been accused of being war criminals - victors justice

In this case being accused and actually being a war criminal are two different
things.

I'll take the Allies definition of war criminal over WWII Japan's or Germany's
definition thankyouverymuch.

Rest easy, brave one.

I am sure there is a place reserved for him in Hell.

Ah. So you think the Nazis were morally equivalent to the Allies.

While there is a modicum of truth in that, the Allied nations did not
as policy commit the atrocities of the Axis powers.

I am stunned at the number of people here who are saying that the only
difference between the Nazis and the Allies was that the Allies won the
war.

I'm not. Anti-patriotism is fashionable.

You are correct. It took over 50 years for the USA to elect an
administration that committed atrocities on a par with the Axis powers.
