ikorrelim: THANK YOU for such an honest and open discussion of events from your family. It must be difficult for you to state these things in an open forum. You are 100% right....
I had family in France who were forced at gunpoint by the Germans to fight against their own country and against their own beliefs. Not all of them survived the brutality. Those who did survive live in the shadow of their experiences and live in fear of another war. The few things they have told me about the war were terrible. If more politicans were veterans, war would be the last option.
