I would guess for every moral WWII, there are 10 (if not 100) other wars that use the language of WWII and result in a complete waste of lives and money and cause far more problems than they solve.
- lazide 3y agoWW2 wasn’t a war about morals/a moral war, it was a war of hunger and greed vs self preservation. Just like most. If it wasn’t that way, Dresden and Tokyo would never have been firebombed. No one thought those missions were moral or good. they were in the service of annihilating the enemy for survival.
