I once remember hearing a member of the USMC lecture me about the evils done in the name of Nazism. Well, I must have had a sense of defiance back then. For, I said to him, looking him right in the eye, "Knowing where that is coming from, I take that is a compliment!" And, it really is. After all, the USMC, in particular, has quite a history of carrying war crimes and military atrocities themselves, not only in Vietnam, but especially in Vietnam. And knowing what they did, all the Marine's condemnations, looking back at it, are as sweet as honey!
Talk about the Pot Calling the Kettle Black. I mean really. Americans, particularly those in the Military, should take a good look, a very good look, in the mirror before bad mouthing Nazis, Communists, and other similarly vilified peoples. For Americans are certainly no blessings to Humanity either! They certainly are not the paragons of Chivalry that they make themselves out to be! No, far from it.
