Is it just me or is the last place on earth trying to shift the "blame" for not going further at one ton depot on Dmitriy? (I mean that's what cherry did historically, accusing him of faking his paralysis) but yeah. Don't worry TLPOE I saw you being weird about Eastern Europeans

"Now, fifty years later, there has been so much talk about 'The Good War,' the Justified War, the Necessary War, and the like, that the young and the innocent could get the impression that it was really not such a bad thing after all. It's thus necessary to observe that it was a war and nothing else, and thus stupid and sadistic [...] Both soldiers and civilians were right to perceive in the war, as [critic] Dwight Macdonald has said [in 1945], 'the maximum of physical devastation accompanied by the minimum of human meaning.' It takes some honesty, even if that honesty arises from despair, to perceive that some events, being inhuman, have no human meaning."

Paul Fussell, Wartime: Understanding and Behavior in the Second World War (1989)
