macht nichts. Doesn't make any difference IOW, they are all bad. Mans inhumanity to man knows no bounds and leaves the participants in the ditches with what we call PTSD today. Then it was "shell shock", same thing they've now given it a "better" name of PTSD (by the libtards definitions). One of my stepfathers sister's husband managed to live thru the Bataan Death March, but it was an absolutely verboten subject the rest of his life when he finally came home. He did a good job of containing it, I don't ever recall hearing that he hit Alice even once. And I never saw a mark on her. He did spend a lot of time washing very ripe chicken guts in the Des Moines River, and they always had some good, bragging sized catfish for the table. Fishing I guess was his therapy. Way better than some of the alternatives... -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
