Nope, never in the Coast Guard. Try again.

False assumptions in both cases: The pursuit in Canada's hundred days
would have stalled out a little ways into Germany and taking the entire
country would have taken a couple more years. 'More' in August 1945 meant
a third bomb sometime in the fall and nothing else until 1946.[1]

Thus the question stands: A punitive peace or help rebuilding?

Note that you are failing to learn from history: A punitive peace did
nothing but lead to another war, helping the losers restore themselves
resulted in _ALLIES_.

Thus, to add to your bookstore shopping lists: A good 20th century world
or European history text, _Paris, 1919_ and _The Art of War_, (as you also
need to learn what real military experts think about razing the nations
you defeat).

You have still done nothing to show that what he said was a lie, thus I
accept you concession that you are just blowing smoke when you claim he had.

That you are of the opinion that what he said was false does not in any
way support the claim that he had lied. In order to lie one must make a
statement that the speaker believes to be false.


(I suggest you take some time to read the posts you reply to, it will stop
you from making foolish errors like asserting X while quoting an article
pointing out that X does not support your position.)


While we're at it, you never did answer the question of how a city can
have daily homicides while only having 100 homicides a year. So, you have
any way to resolve this glaring conflict?

The wise speak only of what they know, Stanley son of Rexwinkle. A

Those sapient beings who have not deliberately and actively chosen to
significantly violate my rights or those of the people under my
protection. (i.e., they can THINK about it all they want, and even TALK
about it all they want, but they'd better not DO anything.) Once they
step over that line (initiating violence being the most common and
obvious method), they have forfeited their expectation for consideration
on MY side. If I happen to be in a very strong position, I may be
magnanimous. But they'd better not count on it.

There were two others either completed or on the way. He didn't say "we
could have nuked them more on the same day". We could have bombed Japan
to glass over the next several months to a year.

The being you just described would still be a human. They seem to be
someone that you consider undeserving of human rights. As I said before,
down that path leads madness. You need a broad, inclusive definition of
human being. So that those in power don't decide that *you* don't make
the cut.
I'm not saying such a person should receive the same freedoms as a law
abiding citizen does. I have no issue with jailing a person that has
been convicted of a crime. Even jailing them for life. But they do
deserve to receive basic human rights. To be treated as a human.
Especially if they will some day be released back into society. I want
them chastised, not traumatized.
And if that jail time doesn't work and they re-offend, back they go. As
many times as it takes or until they finally receive a life sentence.
Please note that I am opposed to execution and see it as a mark of a
barbaric society.
