I don't think there were any good guys in wwii. But there were honorable career soldiers and sailors, like Ray Spruance who argued against the bombing of German and Japanese cities. People who were protecting their job security more than their country, like Curtis LeMay, were for it.

The real losers in WWII, were the folks of Central and South America, the Middle East, and Asia.
Your first paragraph is wrong, that thesis has been disproven: http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/people/b/...brose-001.html

Agree with the last. Disagree sort of with the second.

I disagree strongly with Swede's downplaying of Axis and Nazi crimes.
