It was the Germans who first bombed civilians and provoked the Allies to respond in kind. Harris' firebombing (in his own words) deprived the Nazis of many future workers and soldiers

Some Japanese still believe the Nanking Massacre was invented by Chinese propagandists. This sounds very similar to neo-fascist Holocaust denial http://www.pacificwar.org.au/WarCrimeIntro.html

What do they think about the thousands of Korean women forced into military prostitution by the Japanese army? The large population of post-war Japanese-Korean children is more than enough evidence about that issue, as is the apology ultimately demanded by the Korean nation itself a few years ago. The trouble with history is that it lingers on and and stains the honor of nations long after the atrocities are done.

They might respond with some insane conspiracy theory, like modern-day neo-Nazis claiming the Holocaust was committed by the allies

It's psychological - a uniform gves one a different image to hind behind; an exuse fro whatever happens when one is it; a feeling of belonging. It's easier to commit an atrocity when in uniform because it happens in a social role, that is symbolizzed by the uniform.
So monsters can kill babies while in uniform and kiss their own kids when without it - it's like a double life. So they like uniforms. Besides monsters are fragile people, usually with low self-respect that take their own anger on others - so they need the protection of the uniform and the reinforced feeling of belonging it gives.

A peaked cap and uniform also look more intimidating. Take this Gestapo officer, for example

A scapegoat in uniform, maybe.
But if this Azita is Historum's former Azita, then he's pure evil just because he lived in America:)

3. Trolling can also be considered as, "inflammatory remarks, " 5. "Rude insults, defamatory remarks" "personal attacks, " 6. "Nationalism " 8. Negative attitude; tone of confrontation, annoyance, or contempt; disrespectful toward other members. Some of the( abridged) forum rules here, perhaps Salah Ad-din has not had time to read them yet. Azita
PS: Surely no one could apporove of Fort Sumter ????

Ease up Salah and remember keep the personalities out of it. As your last sentence was not necessary.

Your point is made. Now also remember the other guideline in the CoC...you have a complaint. Take it PM to a Mod or the Admin for resolution. We avoid flame wars this way. *********************************************************************** And for general edification and enlightenment for all concerned, now or in the future. They may rest assured; flame wars wont happen here as long as I Mod. Period.

As for the thread. Jallianwala Bagh massacre. BG Reginald E.H. Dyer, British India Army, makes the list.

Ah! the amritsar massacre, much more to this than is often mentioned, especially the events preceding the order to open fire. I suspect that 1857 was still remembered as well. Still cant be condoned, just better understood. It is quite a testimony to the British of that time, that they were also outraged and disgusted by the event. and the subsequent changes made
BTW the 1984 massacre was far more bloody.
