    "the universal protocol that ALL deceased soldiers are honored."

    Hmm, could it be that the "universal" countries that came up with this protocol are, I don't know, particularly prone to doing supper dishonorable war shit?

        There's a flagstone in the Dachau camp memorial site that tells the story of a time where a camp guard was beaten to death because his weapon jammed.

        I'm not saying that it's definitely being played for laughs, but the tone it's written in is very very different from the rest of the language in that museum...

    Imagine if 9/11 memorials had sections dedicated to the young men simply fighting for the what they believe in and proclaimed that the lives of all the hijackers were sacred. I'm sure the reviewer here would appreciate the fair and balanced take on the event

      Don’t dishonor the troops by posting photographic evidence of what they did

    For a history buff, he sure didn’t have any idea what happened in the Vietnam war. Fucking atrocities left and right. If anyone wants nightmare and hasn’t actually researched the effects of agent orange before, have at it.

      How dare they be mad at Murikkka for traumatizing their people

      But when americans make films about how traumatized their troops are because they had to machine gun civilians, thats just art.

          It’s hard to imagine the intersection of the person who is a chud, wants to vacation in Vietnam, wants to visit a museum on vacation, and is super offended that photographs of Americans from the Vietnam war show them being despicable.

          The only way to make it make sense in my head is that they were looking for a bride.

            You've got to remember that a lot of Americans have a really poor grasp on history. Like the country is less than 250 years old so something that happened 50 years ago can actually seem like a really long time for them.

            It's very probable that they had it in their heads that this is ancient history and it would be no more weird than a French person doing a tour of an English castle.

                But there's been a German entity on central europe for like 1000 years. It's a bit like saying turkey is only a hundred years old, you know?

                  No, sorry. There isn't a "German" entity on central Europe for 1k years, it actually is the other way around. The entities that came after claimed there was a unifying "Germanness" that led to unification, while - again - it was the other way around. The material conditions and social relations and propaganda create and fabricated the thing you now assume to have existed for a thousand years and more.

                  Prussia isn't and wasn't back then the German entity, the HRE wasn't and isn't the German entity. As a person with very Prussian and German heritage it isn't something I'll let stay in the room like this.

                    All the states that are now Germany were still inhabited territory going back at least a thousand years, with their own history and interactions during those times. So you can see a statue built 700 years ago and know who built it when and why(not for all of them, but at least for some). So an atrocity France committed a few hundred years ago will seem not super important when discussing current relations to France. However, in america, finding a hundred year old building is a bit of surprise in most states. Any history in the land going back more than 500 years is either just a untouched land or history that is lost or destroyed by settlers. So all the places we now call Germany have existed for a very long time with a storied history that is mostly known, whereas america doesn't. So thinkgs that happened only 5 or six decades ago feels like ancient history, as that's a 5 of american history and a tenth of the america's history, but feels recent compared to a few thousand years of european history.

                      Not gonna read all what you write, but pretty much all of Earth was populated for the last couple of (tens) of thousands of years.

                        I acknowledge as much in my comment. White people don't learn native american history, so the place they live in only 300-ish years old. germany cities have at least a thousand years that the people might know some of. if you want to critique any lost nuance, read the other comment first.
