Dan Carlin's Hardcore History Addendum

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

Gladwell is pro precision bombing in his piece. He actually makes a cartoon villain out of Lindemann and British area bombing.

[Smitty-48]

the vast majority of civilians killed in the Second World War were killed by ground forces

either shot, gassed, or worked to death, by Germans, Japanese & Soviets

[Smitty-48]

Has anyone listened to the latest? Sound like something for Smitty.

America itself is falling under the rule of totalitarians who would mass murder for their godless cult

Lord send me Curtis LeMay to firebomb them into the stone age

oh Eagle with thunderbolts in talons grasped, bring swift justice down upon the traitors to the republic, I pray

[C-Mag]

All Soldiers are indeed monsters to libtards, but now they hold their tongue to present military, and trash our ancestral veterans.

LeMay, Eisenhower and Patton did what needed to be done to save Allied lives and end the war as quickly as possible. To do that requires utter brutality on the enemy.
Bringing the full force of your people, economy and all weapons systems to bear.

And this is EXACTLY why we no longer win wars. We as a people are too big a pussies to utterly destroy the enemy.

Well, Big Gladwell isn't gonna make money off reminding people that the Germans, Japanese, and Soviets did fucked up stuff. Not sexy enough.

Still, if a best selling author is telling people that US strategic bombing was better than what everyone else is doing.... I'm not going to complain too much. Better than Zinn or Chomsky style pacifism.

[Smitty-48]

the problem for Carlin is that he thought I would be placated with a half hearted acquittal

it was an "insane war crime" but they had to do it

damning them with faint praise

whereas I was saying fuck that, Jimmy Stewart is a hero, not a criminal let off on a technicality

wasn't insane, wasn't a crime, wasn't anything more than swift justice delivered from the heavens

50% of those captured by the Japanese died, 40% of American Soldiers. While nearly all Japanese captives survived.

No regrets on fire bombing or nukes.

Gladwell is a conflicted Wokester. I like his stories but they’re very formulaistic (Jewish PBS), and his insights are shallow. He’s more showman than intellect. Like Dan.

Curtis LeMay did nothing wrong

he was a great American and a lovely man

all soldiers seem like monster to liberal media fops, who knew ?

Jordan Peterson is right, the real monsters are the girly men

these journalists run away in the face of a Twitter mob

45 million civilians were killed in the Second World War, almost all by the Germans, Japanese & Soviets

for some reason all anybody wants to talk about is the 100,000 Japanese killed in the Tokyo fireboming

the Japanese were the genocidal murderers, Curtis LeMay was the sheriff come to hang them for their crimes

Have you listened to SuperNova in the East?
