Nuance was an early victim of this skirmish. Some brave soldiers tried to save it, but it was too great a task in the face of an overwhelming bombardment.
On the plus side, it's rare to find such a large collection of misplaced cliches masquerading as an argument. Bereft of substance, morally vacuous and intellectually incoherent. A triumph. Let this thread stand as a monument to the folly of modern internet discourse: The rant is mightier than the disquisition.

Until I'm told by the Board Emperor's to stop.

Joking apart. Chamberlain who's crime, backed by a significant majority of the British population, was trying to avoid a re-play of WW1. Chamberlain, who bought a country vastly un-prepared for war, roughly four years to do so. Much maligned, much misunderstood. yes, a clever man that what many think of him. some politicians of the time might have jumped in with both bi planes and fought the luftwaffe a few years earlier.

A coward, okay, why? I think you will find that I'm no coward. You say cowardice is taking the easy way out. I think you'll find that in every war since Ww2 those that have been won decisively are those that haven't been fought using kid gloves. You see, the thing is, those on here who champion all these lefty agendas, well hugs, kisses, much love, and their support does not make them any less of a legitimate target to our enemies. You study war BM, so I really do not know how you can not see that appeasement doesn't work. Why did you post a Private Message to debate a public matter? OK. So you're no coward. That's cool. I'm no coward either. And the fact that I don't particularly believe in the death sentence even though in some cases it is absolutely justified doesn't make ME a coward anymore than you are a coward. The thing is. It's not actually nice being called a coward. You can testify to that given your reaction on here, and your resort to Private Message. So, don't go round calling other people cowards because they don't share your point of view. It makes you look like a hypocrite, and a t***. Can you name a major war won decisively since World War Two? Jesus, even WW2 wasn't won decisively. Come back to my point about The Kurds though. They don't routinely execute their ISIS captives. Does that make them cowards going by your standards? Would you stand face to face with a hardened YPG (Peshmerga) combatant and call them a coward for not beheading the likes of this British girl captive. I doubt it. It's not a lefty agenda either by the way. Churchill, Eisenhower, Truman, De Gaulle. None of those you'd consider "lefties". None of those were in favour of mass executions of Germans and Japanese post WW2. Thus that simply didn't take place. The guy you'd quantify as the ultimate "lefty" of course did enact revenge on a scale the Western Allies did not. An interesting juxtaposition of your viewpoint don't you think ?? Anyhow. Convinced I'm wasting my time. But there ya go. Have you checked the definition of Padbrat ? Also I believe 10 Nazis were executed by the allies after the Nuremberg trials and appx 1000 Japanese were also executed by the allies so they did actually take place and a possible juxtaposition to your understanding- I may of course be inaccurate - I just used Google- so please don't hesitate to check the accuracy of my comment.

We executed a number. But the overwhelming majority of those involved in the Holocaust just...went home and resumed normal post-war lives. As did the overwhelming number of Japanese involved in atrocities (including Hirohito who continued as Emperor until his natural death). Pretty balanced on the whole. Certainly not "eye for an eye". Is my point. I'm aware a Pad Brat is the child of someone in the military. Not sure what relevance that has to the debate? Not sure what relevance it would have to the debate if Padbrat was actually a serving soldier either? Care to elaborate?

Absolutely pissing myself that this thread is still going so strong; one particular string of posts is true hope for the mouth-breathers everywhere.
