Subject: RE: BS: Jingoism or Commemoration
In our free and safe world it may seem crazy to have to fight for anything.
They did not believe it safe to allow a cruel invader to prevail.
They still held to that belief through the times of maximum suffering and death, and to the end of the war and after.
You think they were wrong, but what is your opinion worth?
Apart from Ferguson, every historian has come to the conclusion based on informed hindsight that they were right.

Like all normal, intelligent people, I get my knowledge of history from the history books.
Yours comes from somewhere else, and you really believe you have a better understanding than those professionals!

That is why we can not agree.
Unless and until you can find anyone with actual knowledge who still believes your myths, I leave you to wallow in your ignorance.

Be assured, I have not confused the Daves.
