[QUOTE=lulzbocks;21729077]Wait what?
How? Just because they were communist?

In addition to other crimes, the Americans picked up a German practice of forcing villagers from their homes and burning down entire villages in order to deny land from the Viet Cong, just as the Germans did so so that partisans could not seek shelter. Neither had regard for the fates of the villagers that were now homeless.
That, and America Blitzkrieg'd in Vietnam.

No.
I was attempting to piss off GmodFan77, but you all messed it up before he could rage reply. I was stating that the French beat the British in the Revolutionary War.
Now it's ruined.

Well, what is wrong with losing popular support of the local people? This is the shit that turns neutral villagers into guerrilla fighters.

They also ultimately lost, regardless of what some might claim.

Did you just ask what's wrong with burning down people's homes?

Hmmm... well, I guess you would need to take both aspects into account, especially if the populace was actually supplying or assisting the enemy.

Because the killing of innocent civilians is totally justified and right in times of war :downs:

Many times, yes, unfortunately.
And I wasn't talking about slaughtering civilians. I was talking about burning down homes, which can cause major problems for the government of the now homeless people.

Does it happen? Yes.
Necessary? Possibly sometimes.
Justified? Never.
So fuck you.

Originally in the Soviet ones the Polish Army participated in them, and continued to participate them right up until the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Maybe, there were different medals for different theatres- there were Caucasus medals too. What I was saying was in the original parade there was the Polish First Army that participated alongside the Red Army, led by General Świerczewski.

I suppose that the Roman empire, the Persians, the Chinese, the English, French, Germans (colonial era), Spanish, Italians, and Japanese were all Nazi Germany at one point

Even the Aztecs.

Fucking Nazi Aztecs
Yeah kiss some ass Western countries.
I find military parades incredibly juvenile.
The end of a war should be celebrated with symbols of peace, not military dickwavery.

Every major empire in history, from Roman to British to American, has acted a bit Nazi Germany-like at some point.
