Keep in mind that in war, truth is the first casualty. And when history is written by the victors, it remains a casualty. If you are condemned to repeat the past simply by forgetting about it, you can expect even worse from a past that is a load of horse ****. For example, just about everything you have heard about Hitler and WW II in general is a load of horse ****. Why? Because WE were the bad guys!!! To help prove my point, I will show you a picture of one of the people we backed. He was a jew who was the head of the Russian NKVD. He alone is said to have orchestrated the deaths of at least 10 million people! You really need to set aside your brainwashing and listen to some intelligent people. For one thing, they were there! I will show you pictures and quotes of two such people. One was general Patton. The other is a Nobel Laureate. He was a Russian historian and novelist.
Solzhenitsyn is the author of The Gulag Archipelago and a fierce critic of communism. Solzhenitsyn lived in exile in West Germany during the Soviet era. The West backed the Soviet Union to protect Britain from Nazi Germany, playing them off against each other. To play hard ball with Nazi Germany, the Red Army was the right fit. "There is nothing that so assists the awakening of omniscience within us as insistent thoughts about one's own transgressions, errors, mistakes. After the difficult cycles of such ponderings over many years, whenever I mentioned the heartlessness of our highest-ranking bureaucrats, the cruelty of our executioners, I remember myself in my Captain's shoulder boards and the forward march of my battery through East Prussia, enshrouded in fire, and I say: 'So were we any better?'
Solzhenitsyn wasn't really talking about communists. He was talking about the jews. Which most of the Bolsheviks happened to be. And what he had to say couldn't be any more true. It is the ultimate in truth. Something that apparently general Patton also knew.
Another Troll thread. This is worthy of the "ministry of truth" from Orwell's 1984. Bad revisionist history. Fortunately, we have had millions of American servicemen who came home and told the truth so we know threads like this are crap.
