Why the USA is a disgrace

[CapnAwesome]

Honestly I don't know why WWII gets invoked other then our enemy. The US committed far more war crimes in WWII then in Vietnam.

I wouldn't think so. Apart from shooting POWs, which every side did, the only thing coming to mind would be the bomb. Their bombing raids, as opposed to the british, were at least aimed at the industry. The outspoken british strategy was to bomb the workers.

So, no, I wouldn't think the US did worse than in Vietnam.

Oh man, I don't even know where to start.

We indiscriminately firebombed Tokyo and many other Japanese cities with the intention of causing as many civilian deaths as possible according to Robert McNamara who said in the documentary about him 'Fog of War' that he would have been charged as a war criminal had we lost the war. The US airfleet was almost half the planes that participated in the mass carpet bombing of Dresden in Germany, which was clearly aimed at civilians. The US engaged in well documented mutilation of Japanese corpses, shot prisoners, engaged in large scale rape after the battle of Okinawa. I mean it goes on and on and on. I've seen some historians claim we committed more war crimes during WWII then all other wars we've been in put together and I tend to agree.
