Well yes, the goal is to shoot, talking wont bring more profit to lockheed after all, only killing can do that.

You're oversimplifying I'm afraid. Just because people make money out of war doesn't necessarily mean it's for no reason. Just like the war on Nazis, some wars have to be fought, especially if your goal is to save lives.

  You should really read more about world war 2, we didnt save lives with our actions

    That is quite disrespectful, on the contrary hitler did have a lot of support fron the US, and I wont quickly forget the all star cast of bankers, politicians, and media that supplied that aid. Nor will I forget the top picks from the Nazi experiment that were wisked away to safety. I believe it far more likely that you would come to their defense than I.

        You point at something from a long time ago and say its bad, but dont reflect on what historical implications it has on the present. You cant just tie a bow on it and say it happened a long time ago, what institutions did those people find themselves in, what influences have they left behind? How did we get to a point where I can watch a video of nazis crucifying a russian jew and then lighting them on fire, and then we send them a bunch of guns? You are hunting for nazis in the wrong place, they arent your neighbors.
