2. I really feel uncomfortable saying this but. . . .

I guess what I'm musing about is the fact that so many of our fellow citizens, males and females, would have accepted such a sadistic slaughter as not just OK (war is heck) but admirable. I never would have considered such a possibility before 2016. I cannot help but consider it today.

74,000,000 Americans voted for a man who, I have no doubt, would have responded to the documentary with a "So what?"

3. Thanks for posting . . . my dad was an officer in a different field artillery unit . . .

during the Battle of the Bulge . . . he was an air artillery observer, awarded the Air Medal with five oak leaf clusters for directing artillery fire in over 50 flights during the battle . . . a salute to him and to the Ardennes victims . . .

4. My dad was in the Bulge on a communications team

Their job was to string communications lines through the woods in 3 feet of snow. The ranking soldiers just dropped from hypothermia. He wound up being the highest ranking soldier on the team as a corporal.
He managed to get the rest of the team to their objective, and was awarded a Bronze Star.
He also suffered frostbite severe enough that he came close to losing his toes, or worse.

Forever after he despised winter and snow. Especially snow.

5. I wouldn't have minded seeing any of those motherfucker SS Troops annihilated.

They were the worst of the worst of the worst. THEY were the ones who performed the atrocities such as shooting millions of Jews, using gas vans and shoving people into gas chambers. And they got off pretty easy, all things considered.
