Some moral questions by a German...

This is a very interesting multinational discussion. I am an American of Irish descent on both my mother's and my father's side. During the war I was confused at the dinner table with the discussions. Every one was very Anti-British and hoped they would be pounded, and yet the American Press and sentiment was Anti-German. How could both sides be bad? How could America fight on the side of the British after what they did to the Irish? What were the Germans doing to the Jews?
At church, we were told that was bad.
As a child I was so confused I just wanted to play baseball.
61 years is a long time, as is 85 years ago. I wasn't responsible for what happened then or for who did what to whom.
SHIII is a fantasy. I can be a kaleun and command a crew to attempt to serve my country. What is wrong with that?
