re: #36 Gus
Newsflash to Gilad Sharon. Yes, we were pretty brutal to the Japanese as well as the Germans. However, despite the brutality of it it (Dresden, Tokyo) was never our goal to “flatten” and literally annihilate either country during WWII. We flattened neither country.
Came close though.
I was born in Germany in 1955, ten years after the end of the war. My parents told me they were still carting the rubble away.
