I think it's completely incomprehensible to the modern Western mind how ruthless and sadistic the Soviet, Japanese, and German governments got. For me, the key lesson is how important it is for civilians to be very widely armed with rifles as a check against that happening again.

I think the Americans then probably didn't have the defeatist attitude I see today.

the next time someone like Patton says we gotta finish the job and take out all the commies/other progressives, listen to him.

I heard that during the war, American girls would fuck for a pair of nylons.
After the war, German girls would fuck for a Hershey bar. Turns out, German girls don’t even like Hershey bars. That’s the lesson of WWII. |

The lesson is to have a department of war not a department of defense and to fight to win the war not tie or lose with one arm tied behind our backs. I’m guessing the jag corps was smaller in WWII than the GWOT.

America's industrial might was awesome.
Or, "fuck around and find out." |

Logistics wins wars. It's amazing what the US did with production with not only fighting vehicles, but transports (truck, trains, aircraft, ships) to keep everything going. On top of that we supplied our Allies (Britain & British Commonwealth, USSR, French, China (KMT) and other nations) with war material.
Bigger bombs help too. We couldn't even fight WW II now if we had to. What steel plants? |

|
Siding with a regime that murdered 10 million because they share your crippled president's philosophy never works out at the end of the day.
|
|
Logistics is great, nukes too, but be sure you can crack and read your enemies codes.

Interlaced tank wheels are a stupid idea as they clog with mud and freeze in the winter. Should have listed to Christy.
|
|
If you are going to fight a war, then absolutely destroy your enemy and defeat them quickly.
|
|
|
A majority of people can be convinced, by the media, to commit atrocities and believe they are doing a moral good.
|
|
|
If the other team has nukes but you don’t, there is no shame in surrender.
|
|
|
Invade Russian all you want. Don't be there when winter arrives.
|
|
If you are outpacing your enemy in technological advances, delay the start of initiating total war until you have complete dominance over your enemy
|
|
We probably should have wiped all forms of communism off the face of the planet while we had the chance
|
|
The Axis was defeated by taking the war to the civilians. Terrible but true..........
