How about. . . you can commit the atrocities all you want, if the other fuckers started it unprovoked and in the most cowardly possible way, and then killed hundreds of thousands of your best young men. . . in a war you never even wanted to enter in the first place?
I guess you think two wrongs don't make a right. But look at what Japan did. . . they were pure fucking cancer to the world at that time-- and they killed wwwwwaaaayyyy more civilians than they lost. In fact, they probably achieved that mark just with the Rape of Nanking. So let's not cry SJW tears for the poor Japanese victims of a war that Japan fucking started.
For myself, I'm not crying "SJW tears" -- I'm merely pointing out that our own execution of the war had its moral weaknesses as well.
Another example: Compare the different treatments of Lockhart and Doenitz. Both ran unrestricted submarine campaigns. One was tried and convicted as a war criminal, the other was promoted -- for the same acts.
