I had several years of history classes from the 4th grade to the 8th
grade<br>
then Amerikan History as a class in the 4th year of high school,<br>
and a course on Modern Western Civilization (an oxymoron?) as a college<br>
freshman that I resented ferociously.<br>
<br>
For a science and math major it was pretty dry stuff.<br>
<br>
They didnt expose us to the nasty underbelly of human existence.<br>
It would have warped our young minds. <br>
Far better to lie to us. Henry Ford was right.<br>
History is BUNK (<b>BU</b>llshit, <b>N</b>o <b>K</b>idding) the way
they taught it to us.<br>
<br>
Genocide and torture and mutilations and <br>
slowly slicing and grinding people to a bloody itchy miserable death<br>
is part of war. If you don't destroy a whole<br>
bunch of non-military stuff and kill a lot of<br>
kids, and disembowel pregnant women alive and <br>
eat their babies for breakfast it ain't real war.<br>
<br>
Nothing has changed. Nothing. <br>
The scale factor might be different but certainly<br>
not if one looks at it on a percentage basis.<br>
The shape factor is not any different.<br>
<br>
I can't see any difference between what the French did around the world<br>
and what the Nazis did on any sort of barbarism scale.<br>
What the Nazis did to the Jews wasnt much different from what the <br>
Jews did to their enemies and to one another.<br>
There aint much changed in the world from bashing someone<br>
to death by hitting them in the face with a rock to<br>
remote control video drones.<br>

I agree.<br>
<br>
It is a significant turn against Obama,<br>
and thank you for sharing it.<br>
