Almost time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.
And it's almost time for the evening session in the snooker.

I understand the desire for a simple narrative but I think this would make a lot of the history of World War Two uncomfortable reading.
As it's two conscript armies fighting each other, it's arguably a lot of civilian men in Uniforms being told to fight another lot of civilian men in uniforms. In the end it always is.
The people who have the power to hurt a lot of soldiers and civilians are generally not in uniforms and staying well away from anything that may be dangerous. It's a bit like the Monty Python definition of a king: the only one who hasn't got sh*t all over him.

I'll have to look that one up. our business Founder/Owner is a great guy despite a few "tragic flaws" working against him. I can help by managing my dept. but I could never, nor would I want to, be at the top. my Grandfather came to this country as a pre-teen & eventually built a family business that his children, grand children & great grand children (my children) have profited from. we are all grateful for the efforts & strength of than singular immigrant. unfortunately he had a reputation, with his children, of being cruel

I imagine the victims of the My Lai massacre had a similar viewpoint about their attackers, not to mention the Boers who starved to death in British concentration camps, the victims of the Belgian-led Congo genocide between 1885 and 1908, the many, many victims of the Germans and their allies in the period leading up to and during WW2 ...
Do I really need to continue?

Exactly.
And every. single. one of those countries - and many, many more which I CBA to mention - are equally a 'lying cheating mass murdering POS country' which 'deserves all the hellish revenge the world can inflict on it'.
But vanishingly-few of them got it, did they?
And none of us like hearing that OUR countries are lying cheating mass-murdering POS countries, do we? Nor do we like hearing that revenge is going to be inflicted upon ourselves and our loved ones, for something perpetrated by others and that we felt we had, or in actuality had, no choice and/or played no part in.

Time for a late evening snack - the choice is either a large chunk of chocolate or a bag of crisps (both is NOT an option unfortunately)
