Thanks for the vocabulary lesson. I may be a bluecollar junkie but I paid attention in history class. I know enough about the atrocities on both sides of the war to appreciate your lengthy dissection of how strategically they were carried out. They're still atrocities and you're right, tough shit that's war. Does that make my disgust with it meaningless? Your tone is elitist and insulting. You're obviously smarter than me but you don't have to be a dick about it.It's fashionable to know nothing about Dresden that you didn't read in Slaughterhouse Five but it's fucking insulting to pay passing lip service to the apocalyptic genocides perpetrated by every member of the Axis powers.
