It’s weird that you hate Germans, but have no problem grouping large swathes of people under the same umbrella or using the phrase “I have nothing against Austrians as a class of people.”
Nobody cares Libby.
Nope, just a historian by trade. But hey, nice racism.
Well to be fair, a lot of people had that mentality between WWI and WWII... didn’t quite pan out though.
What stuns me the most is that off the back of this war, where millions were killed in conflict and millions were subjected to degradingly evil punishments that the world didn’t collectively go “holy shit, maybe we should start to work towards some kind of peace”, but instead we created a schism so insidious (the Cold…
Yep. After all this time, after all we know - we still send people to die and kill others in war. Fucking sad.
It’s where we picked up the modern usage of ‘liberated’ though- means largely flattened.
I’m not talking about this particular war only.
FYI..Brigadier General is a 1 star. There’s a world of difference between a 1 star (O-7 rank)and a 4 star (O-10 rank).

Or even worse, NOT fixing them because the sort of people that gravitate towards political power are gung-ho about blowing things up but start crying about how costly it is when it comes time to take care of people.
It is simply staggering the amount of time and energy we as a species put into destroying things and then fixing them because of warfare. Just think what we could have accomplished had those resources been free for other pursuits.

I’m not even sure I wanted to know this. I can’t fathom how her poor parents felt. I’m sure that nothing could be worse than what they imagined but having it proved is awful. I’m sure that they never believed that she was a willing ISIS bride.
"[...]it takes quite some time for pasteurized dairy products to go bad." Milk I buy is pasteurized, as is most milk I think. It only takes a couple of weeks for milk to go bad. I don't use butter fast enough for it to not go bad leaving it on the counter.
Well, it does work in some other way, because if butter were easier to spread I would probably put it on everything. The butter being hard to spread coupled with my laziness ensures that I will not eat tons of butter. I NEED OBSTACLES I HAVE NO WILL POWER.
