Re: Something from history that decent Americans need to see

The poor chap makes it too easy. Of course Americans did some bad things. We've existed as an independent nation in one form or another since 1775, and in that time a nation made up primarily of European immigrants forcefully taking the land from its native inhabitants did a lot of nasty stuff.
Germany right after the war was a basket case, food was scarce and you had to make what you had stretch as best you could.
RJ, ever hear of "Triage"? In an emergency with multiple casualties, you have to make decisions on who you help and who you don't help for whatever reasons. Can't help dead people. Shouldn't devote help to dying people when there are others who can be saved. Of those that can be saved-- worst cases first, lesser cases as you get to them.
When you have the whole countryside in starvation mode, you're looking at a triage scene. You won't be able to help everybody no matter how much you want to. So--- you make hard decisions. Decisions which will not play well later when your enemies are looking for anything and everything to use against you. But, at the moment you do what you can with what you have, and triage methods have to be used to do it.
Of course none of that matters to you, RJ, since your primary concern is dumping on the US and calling us bad names every chance you get. You'll look for anything and everything to try to bring the US down, and frankly nothing matters to you until you have us wallowing in the pig-mire where you think we belong. The whole thing gets tiring after awhile.
