WW II last war won by the "Good Guys*

[Turbala]

I think that "winners write the history"-saying goes well in this thing too. Leaders from both sides are always saying that they are fighting for the good of humankind.

In WW2 germans had "Gott mit Uns"(=God with us) in their belt buckles, Japan was fighting for its survival and for the emperor, US was defending freedom and democracy from its enemies, Soviets were defending mother russia. Germans had concenration camps, human experiments, and so on. Japan treated its prisoners unhamanly, forced to thousand of women in korea and other places to become their sex slaves. In America thousands of american japanese were put on camps. Soviets handled their also poorly , crushed the polish underground movement and so on...

Im a finn and we also have our skeletons in the closet, we sended some of our jews to germany, we shot our deserters (it has been a very hot topic in here finland).

In the end, I think that the side which has the most powerful media is always the good guys (at least to its own population). After the generation which fought in that war dies our only living witness is the history, and it too takes sides. We normally only hear the horrors that the other sides does, the cruelty of our enemies is well documented and known, unlike our cruelty.

It has a word. It's call being hypocritical, but sometimes the whole truth just too damn ugly. No one is really only god or bad, it's battle shades actually, some better some worse. You will never have a full packet of goodness in your hand, there always some rotten apples inside there....
