I resisted commenting on Firms last post ...where hi mildly suggessted to you that you're way and manner of responding to folks around here might just tend to cast you in a negative light.... As opposed to your tourette syndrome approach Oh how I wanted to post....in very large type....YA THINK. But I resisted and than you come back with this weak assed shit.Do you really think that I am not aware that we,the American forces conducted the daylight raids in what was basically 24 hr bombing(and just for you I will state that the brits did the night time runs)Shall i go a little farther and explain to the terminally dense how daylight runs tend to lead to higher casualty rates? You did mention once that you were an amature historian so I just assumed you already knew all that shit. So with that said let me ask you again. What do you feel was the reason that the U.S. took such high losses compared to the Britts in their bomber forces? We know going in that the AAF felt the 17's could protect themselves. When it was found that they could not then why do you feel the AAF persist in this obviously flawed plan?

Aww shit tommie,ignoring you isn't half as much fun as toying with you. There were a few factors at play....the first and the most obvious was Daylight bombing....The second,at least prior to D-Day was to mollify Uncle Joe....we ,the western allies needed to do something,anything on the continent while we prepared for the invasion.....an invasion that at least from Uncle Joe's perspective couldn't come soon enough....from the English perspective couldn't be put off long enough....and we,well we felt '44 was just about right(a little Goldilocks thing I threw in there for free). And than their was the third and perhaps the most pernicious of the reasons such an horrendous loss rate was accepted.Army Air power proponents were out to prove a pet theory.....they held that Air power alone could bring the Reich to it's knees. Traditional Army proponents didn't and still don't buy such heresy....they felt and still feel nothing replaces boots on the ground(I happen to agree with them). Now I have to run out to the store...so you grade my answers....come back with your usual nasty and condescending reply....and we can pick it up from there,okay tommie.

So you are saying that we let thousands of airmen dies uselessly to make Stalin happy? In Churchill's account of WWII he quotes Stalin as complaining that all the allied bombing in Europe was not helping him and what he wanted was an invasion of Europe to take a little pressure off of his armies. So that does not hold much water. And than their was the third and perhaps the most pernicious of the reasons such an horrendous loss rate was accepted.Army Air power proponents were out to prove a pet theory.....they held that Air power alone could bring the Reich to it's knees. This theory does hold some validity if the bombers can get to the target. Until the AAF got fighter escort it seems foolish to feed men and equipment into a black hole. Traditional Army proponents didn't and still don't buy such heresy....they felt and still feel nothing replaces boots on the ground(I happen to agree with them). Now I have to run out to the store...so you grade my answers....come back with your usual nasty and condescending reply....and we can pick it up from there,okay tommie. I simply ask your opinion. Hard to grade an opinion.

What the majority of posters in this thread are saying is it is okay to kill human beings, including Americans, because they can become a threat in the future and that it is a natural thing to kill others when you have the means. How does this relate to other crimes? The majority of users in this thread is in favour of closing all prisons or should other crimes still have a penalty?

I suppose the reply would be something like: "all's fair in love and war". Well...yeah...I suppose anyone wanting to reduce themselves to the nature of the beast - then it will all be fair. For those of us who prefer the more civilised aspects of human nature - such as knowledge sharing/co-operation/diplomacy etc - then we would take a non-interventionist stance. There's not much use in people repeating the mantra: "you own your actions" which is oft cited on these boards.....but when it comes to war: "well...you know...that's war it sort of overtakes you"....the inference being that you don't own your actions due to the inevitable nature of such incidents. So which is it: do you own your actions or not? Do you have a code of ethics which you stand by at all times - rather than just when it suits? And you ask a good question: where it's natural to kill others - then why are we wasting our time with law and civilised institutions? and where this assumption is accepted then how would Libertarianism work when the conclusion is that we naturally want to kill one another?

quote: ORIGINAL: LadyEllen I'm surprised anyone should be surprised that this is the stock in trade of the shitstorm known as war. It aint like in the movies. Attempts to sanitise it are pointless. Yeah, I guess all the countries in WWII were just murdering people wholesale. Carpet bombing never was pin-point accurate, after all.

Still as reported, kids and journalists are not a threat. We are supposed to be killing people there just as the Brits that dressed up as Arabs and went machine-gunning people. Put in jail, the Brits brought in a tank and 'blew' them out, then gave the appropriate apologies later. Yes, this is an 'engagement' that is about oil, money and maintaining a military presence in the 'oil-rich' Persian gulf. We must have a reason to be there and if one takes the time to notice...we'll provide it if necessary.

Stalins view concerns only what was happening on the Eastern front. Absolutely. The eastern front was the war. Everything else just pales in comparison. The Germans attacked Russia with about six million men...The Russian were waiting for them with over ten million men. Africa,Italy,Normandy all put together amounts to a few million. In December of 41 America is not in the war. Rommel and Alexander are dancing in Africa with a few hundred thousand total while Guderian attacks Moscow with two million men and fills up almost three hundred and fifty thousand german body bags before he can get away from the bear that is trying to eat him. Stalin also pointed out that the Germans were not short of supplies so from his point of view the bombing was doing little to either occupy ground forces that could be used against him or air power that could have been used against him. The views put forward by Albert Speer, Hitlers Armaments Minister show that the Germans thought differently. William Manchester in his book "The Arms of Krupp" discusses how ineffective the Anglo-American bombing was on slowing down production at the Krupp factories. Krupp was one of the primary manufacturers of war materials. The effect of the bombing raids on Germany was to keep thousands of tons of arms, munitions, fighters and troops tied down for much of the war. The Rurh which was the closest and most often hit suffered only a 30% loss in productive capacity (this was not till late in the war 1944) as compared to about 20% for the rest of Germany. ". No one has yet seen that this was the greatest lost battle on the German side." I would have to put several other battles on the top of the list. Lenningrad kept over a million Germans occupied for almost three years. Smolinsk marks the turning point and the vindication of Zuchoves plan. Stalingrad...The surrender of a whole army with its field marshall. Kursk...proof positive that the vaunted panzer was just a paper tiger.

Okay,seems you actually like what you refer to as the tourettes syndrome approach.....You are an arrogant condescending little prick. Ya know...that does feel better. I have heard that there are meds that can be used to control that. A couple of things..Stalin was ,perhaps with reason not to be mollified by the bombing...this in and of itself does not mean it was not a factor in the continuing to do so despite the heavy losses....just because Uncle Joe didn't like the bone he was being thrown doesn't mean the western powers were prepared to switch bones......asshole! So you really do not have an opinion on this subject and just want an opportunity to expand your vituperative vocabulary.

Simply amazing...You are so blinded by your obvious Sovietism that you refuse to admit even the obvious. Whether or not Stalin thought the Air offensive effective.Whether or not Speer thought it effective....whether or not it was in reality effective...the reality was it was all the western Allies were willing/able to do on the continent till '43 when they invaded Italy proper...in an attempt to attack waht Churchill referred to as the "soft underbelly" of Fortress Europe...and '44 when they landed in France. So what do we have here...you asked for reasons the Air offensive was continued in the face of such appaling losses...I gave you a number of reasons...all valid and all in fact playing some part in the decision making proccess.How do you respond?...well others can read how you respond and judge for themselves just how correct and justified I am when I refer to you as an asshole!
