They need to get over it.
Look, it's a simple rule: Just don't mention the war around Germans.
I always brought up American foreign aggression and love of violence with pretty much all Americans I met, there was a nice guy from MIT I met once and we had a pretty good debate about it. There's no need to get defensive about it in my opinion.
