OK - I missed that. I mentioned that I believe that this thread denigrates the dead. In my opinion it still does. There is no 'disgusting lie'.

There is no inference in teribums statement. He says unequivocally If you are involved in a war there is only one thing of any importance – THAT YOU END UP ON THE WINNING SIDE.

Not the main thing. Not the most important thing. But the only thing of importance. Rules of warfare are not important. Why it happened is not important. Human life is not important. Lets say it again in case you missed it. only one thing of any importance – THAT YOU END UP ON THE WINNING SIDE How on earth can that be interpreted as anything else by anyone but you?
