Then we're not making claims.
You're clearly not discussing the American war crimes simply because you are embarrassed of what happened.
I say this as an American.

We interned Japanese, a few Germans, and some Italian-Americans in camps away from the coast-line and exclusion zones and with no post-war receptions or immediate reparations. A series of reported rapes came to rise in Tokyo during the occupation period and a platoon of American GIs execute concentration camp guards. A few thousand Japanese soldiers were machinegunned on an airfield. What am I missing here?
Stealing from innocent citizens, such as there watches and other valuables?

Ok. What did the German, Italian, and Japanese soldiers/governments do?

So my grandfather took a hunting rifle from a German guy, doesn't make him a bad person. They were going around the town and destroying all the personally owned firearms anyway, he saved a beautiful gun from oblivion.

They looted watches and other valuables?
In a warzone?
Oh the humanity!
I always thought that the Atombomb, in a way they used it, was just stupid.
It was needed to close the war quick. but they could have used [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_bomb"]bat bombs[/URL], or dropped the bomb near the coast of japan, showing them to stop the fuck now, or they are going to
get bombed with these. They would have shit their pants, and give up. And if not, no one could say that they were not warned.

Because all of the other countries didn't do that too? No everyone was looting but not everyone was using gas chambers or doing the atrocities that the Japanese were.The Americans are not innocent, soldiers raped civilians and murdered prisoners but the Germans, the Russians, and the Japanese did too just on a lager scale.
No one in World War II was truly innocent. War is hell and the atrocities committed were not necessary. Every country did wrong things but some acts committed were just completely inhuman.

You have no idea what they would have done, don't make silly assumptions based on how you would react. It's easy to judge events as to how they could have been done better decades after they happened.
WW2. Read that as the point of history after which America has fucked up every war they went into :v:
Yeah war is horrible blah blah blah. Allies were clearly not as horrible as nazis or japanese. I just hate the fact that because of world war 2 the americans are still the international goodguys and knights of peace and democracy.
Like they deserve the title atleast anymore.
Let's see...
Bullets
Shrapnel
Fire
Explosions
Collapsing buildings
Horrible living conditions, especially sanitation in certain cities
Disease
Starvation
Zyklon B
Yeah, quite bad.
[QUOTE=Anastatius;24048560]I love hearing war stories from my grandfather. It fills him with such pride to know that he was at those major battles in WW2 and helped to defeat the Nazis.[/QUOTE]
My grandfather never told his expriences of the war, not atleast when I was around.
Kinda gives off what he went throught back there.
But he's on a better place now

This is why i hate Russia. They had this crap going on.
They chose to do this to their people in order to defend Leningrad.

You hate the USSR not Russia. And desperate times call for desperate (sometimes stupid) measures.
[QUOTE=goel;24060500]and what if they didn't? they would lose the war.. and all hell would break loose.[/QUOTE]
Nope. They would've lost their pride but not the war. They would've retreated and take defensive positions elsewhere until new troops arrived from siberia.
It's not just USSR. It's their mentality. They don't seem to value people much.

They did get all the way into Berlin. Which kinda pissed off the nazis.
That's good, right?
