worst : history : HISTORICAL TRUTH OR FEEL GOOD REVISIONIST CONSPIRACY HISTORY? [+] serious ballot by jappy ACTIVE Fri Dec 08, 06 - Wed Sep 02, 09 As each year goes by, there are fewer and fewer members of our armed services from World War II left, Unfortunately as time goes by, many people in the United States forget just how important a role these service members played in preserving the freedom of not only the United States, but the support of freedom for others around the globe. It should be mandatory for every man woman and child in the United States over the age of 10 to watch the first 45 minutes of Saving Private Ryan, to fully understand and appreciate the ultimate sacrifice so many service members made to protect our way of life. Even worse though are those who choose to rewrite history not for the purpose of correction, but for the purpose of political correctiveness, as though by ‘white washing’ historical events we can avoid ‘offending’ anyone. This is a complete and total travesty not only to the memory of those who lost their lives, but a slap in the face to what their sacrifice represented. Revisionist bullshit includes those who try and say that the U.S. government knew that Japan was going to attack Pearl Harbor and ‘allowed’ it in order to stir public sentiment and ‘anti Japanese behavior’. These same miseducated apologists also believe that there was no reason to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, instead subscribing to a completely ludicrous belief that the Japanese were ‘ready to surrender’ before the atomic bombs were dropped. There is quite a difference between the Japanese surrendering under their own terms, and the unconditional surrender that was needed by Allied forces to insure that the Japanese military machine would be dismantled to end their threat to the region. Instead of the truth, we are given rewritten ‘feel good’ historical accounts, where it’s acceptable to hide the atrocities committed by other cultures, even when it mistakingly makes the United States the ever present ‘bad guy’ in all situations. What makes revisionists conspiracy theorists even worse, are that many of them are college professors molding the impressionable minds of students, who then go out into the world with these incorrect and completely idiotic beliefs about history. With this in mind, is it better to be historically correct or politically correct with revisionist history? historically correct 'feel good' incorrect history Ballot #106547 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
