It's not just about buildings. If they hadn't "won" the war what would life have been like for the inhabitants? For example, I'm sure life in most countries would have been worse if Hitler had won. War isn't good, ever, but sometimes you have to fight. The alternative doesn't bear thinking about.
This isn't saying it's not at times necessary, this is warning/reminding people not to glorify and fantasize about another one, especially another World War. Which is ludicrous really, because NO ONE would win because it would inevitably end in a nuclear holocaust.
Not the male population over 17. And not the inhabitants of Pearl Harbor. Or the Japanese Americans who had their homes and property seized while they were put in internment camps without any justifiable cause other than their family, sometimes several generations removed, came from Japan. Not all damage is visible.
I mean was victory worse than the depression the country was in before ww2. Our victory in that war not only helped us stay on top of the world by boosting industry 10 fold but allowed us to seize many assets and asserted our military dominance which is still felt today. Our population of 17 year olds before the war was starving jobless and in massive mental depressions and fear. Even though they had horrors of war they had the knowledge of changing their nation and their world for the better and would at least have a chance at a job and starting a family.
war is good for business, you're right. at war, many people prosper, become rich, countries rise to the "top of the world", along with their people. well except those who die in some trenches or others but i suppose they wouldn't mind dying for such a grand purpose. right?
war boosts developement, technology, even medicine. so many useful, helpful things were discovered in concentration camps, right? all thanks to war. what a wonderful opportunity, what a brilliant thing, war. right? hundreds, thousands, perhaps millions, profiting immensely from war, one way or another. billions dying, imprisoned, tortured, orphaned, mutilated, hurt beyond words.
i hope fools like yourself realise soon enough how very wrong you are. we all lose when it comes to war, we lose people, cities, cultures, we are utterly sullied as a fucking species. when i think about the several genocides humans have commited, including but not limited to holocaust, i am ASHAMED to share the same fucking gene pool!
the benefits of war cannot in any fuckign way ever outweigh the destruction and chaos and horror. they cannot and they will not, fuckign ever. try and understand that, it's really not that difficult.
still there's always the people that are fully aware of all this but still refuse to understand or are just too callous or plain evil to give a shit, well ... i hope they drop dead.
It would appear you feel strongly about this... dont you know that nobody cares about war as long as the rich old white guy and his direct descendants profit?
Like many things there are good things and bad things i simply stated that the great depression was trash and that ww2 projected us out of it and into prosperity. An idea many experts would agree with. You list on and on about how terrible war is which it is i by no means stated that it was great itself. I mean you throw out the same thing like we dont know it. Millions die and suffer all of which occurs without actual wars taking place. Life is terrible its not new and no one is arguing that. Idk why you go off so hard thinking that i was defending war im simply stating we got off pretty good men died but the country prospered. They died fighting tyranny saving millions and being heroes something i think many of us could hope to die for. I by no means want anyone to die or wars to start but im not so ignorant to keep the idea that it is not necessary. We came out better from ww2 then we entered. Men died of starvation men were killing each other for bread and were willing to step on
one another just to live 1 more day. Do you deny that ww2 helped the U.S. more than it harmed. If so you are a fool and you need to do research read a book man. But dont come at me spitting some vietnam bs and acting like you are all high and mighty cause you along with everyone else on this planet doesnt condone war. No one wants it but it is a necessary evil.
You dont believe war is necessary? When a man has power in a far away land and place and he abuses the populace with that power like torturing them, gassing them, throwing them in mass graves you dont care? You wouldnt say hey maybe we should declare war and go stop that from happening. Get angry all you want i dont condone it but im not stupid enough to act like war is completely useless.
