    Media/Journalism Cringe Megathread - Hot off the Presses

    How much of that was achieved during the bombing campaign, which was a function of technology, the UN being fully behind it, Iraq trying to deescalate the conflict so leaving UN forces to build up in peace, and the US being dirty and bombing a retreating convoy that was pulling back per UN...

    Not really accurate. In the WWs at best the US had a 1:1 casualty ratio despite a crushing superiority of firepower and numbers thanks to their allies. The very end of WW2 might have changed that ratio due to all the prisoner murders that were going on during the final collapse of Germany, but...

    Haha, right. Is that why the Pentagon is desperately trying to avoid the war that the State Department and CIA are trying to cause? Because Poland was ethnically cleansing the ethnic Germans from the country. Between 1918-1939 75% of the ethnic German population was forced out of the country...

    Not just them, it used to be the American Boy Scouts' symbol until the 1930s! Not only that, but in Chicago we still have buildings from the 1920s that have swastikas all over the internal and external walls.
