quote:what the hell is wrong with you???? what loving strategic bombing took place in the korean war? THEY REDUCED THE ENTIRE COUNTRY TO RUBBLE. you dont have to be macarthur's #1 stan! I'm not "pro" bombing, only recognizing that the moral calculus you're utilizing is considerable oversimplistic given the realities of modern warfare; based at a glance at wikipedia you're assessment also seems to be inaccurate and glosses over the years long deliberations that the UN Command undertook regarding the scope of bombing. By focusing on Dresden you're ignoring that pretty much every city in Germany and Japan saw significant destruction in order to prosecute the war to its conclusion; war sucks but I think responsibility should largely lie with the individuals in Moscow, Beijing and North Korea who made the decision to throw Korea onto the bonfire of war. Sherman's letter to Atlantia I think provides important context. quote:I have your letter of the 11th, in the nature of a petition to revoke my orders removing all the inhabitants from Atlanta. I have read it carefully, and give full credit to your statements of the distress that will be occasioned, any yet shall not revoke my orders, because they were not designed to meet the humanities of the case, but to prepare for the future struggles in which millions of good people outside of Atlanta have a deep interest. We must have Peace, not only in Atlanta, but in All America. To secure this, we must stop the war that now desolates our once happy and favored country. To stop war, we must defeat the rebel armies which are now arrayed against the laws and Constitution that all must respect and obey. To defeat those armies, we must prepare the way to reach them in their recesses, provided with the arms and instruments which enable us to accomplish our purpose. Now I know the vindictive nature of our enemy, that we may have many years of military operations from this quarter; and, therefore, deem it wise and prudent to prepare in time. The use of Atlanta for warlike purposes is inconsistent with its character as a home for families. There will be no manufactures, commerce, or agriculture here, for the maintenance of families, and sooner or later want will compel the inhabitants to go. Why no go now, when all the arrangements are completed for the transfer, instead of waiting till the plunging shot of contending armies will renew the scenes of the past month? Of course, I do not apprehend any such thing at this moment, but you do not suppose this army will be here until the war is over. I cannot discuss this subject with you fairly, because I cannot impart to you what we propose to do, but I assert that our military plans make it necessary for the Inhabitants to go away, and I can only renew my offer of services to make their exodus in any direction as easy and comfortable as possible. You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our Country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out. I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices to-day than any of you to Secure Peace. But you cannot have Peace and a Division of our Country. If the United States submits to a Division now it will not stop, but will go on until we reap the fate of Mexico, which is Eternal War. The United States does and must assert its authority, wherever it once had power; for, if it relaxes one bit to pressure, it is gone, and I believe that such is the National Feeling. This Feeling assumes various shapes, but always comes back to that of Union. Once admit the Union, once more acknowledge the Authority of the National Government, and, instead of devoting your houses and streets and roads to the dread uses of war, I and this army become at once your protectors and supporters, shielding you from danger, let it come from what quarter it may. I know that a few individuals cannot resist a torrent of error and passion, such as swept the South into rebellion, but you can point out, so that we may know those who desire a government, and those who insist on war and its desolation. War sucks; pretending one country or another is uniquely responsible for the actions it takes to win is foolish.

Lib and let die posted:The D&D mods' constant reluctance to comment on criticisms of the media analysis thread until the specific argument about the trustworthiness of the CIA-provided intel boiled over into the feedback thread was absolutely amazing to watch. the model laid out in the OP is treated as the singular source of Truth In Media Understanding, when it's an insanely easy to abuse model: The Media Analysis people are the dumbest most media illiterate morons I've ever come across. Multiple times they've shrugged off extremely biased pieces from their 'trusted sources' as being just 'opinion pieces', the literal Fox News defense, and are unable or unwilling to comprehend that even 'opinion pieces' are subject to curation and approval from the editorial staff.
