@Rocinante1291@uphamforflorida No, in the movie Upham grew a spine in the end. It came at a high cost, but he grew. This shitbag posting this video is far beneath the movie character.
@ActualDavidP@monsterhunter45 The hell are you talking about? Martel was before Charlemagne, who was crowned Roman Emperor in 800 and massively enlarged the size and riches of what would only later be known as France. I'm not arguing that France is fallen at the present, but Martel was not their height.
@GWOTMF This is a damned discrace. Why wouldn't you put the names on it? Why the hell would you make it in the shape of a crescent moon, the symbol of our enemies in the war?
@jwvansteenwyk@FeserEdward We know that we can learn from God's commands and teachings and then apply that to our lives in the present. Otherwise, you would have to make the argument that we can never know what action would be correct unless God gave us direct commands in real time for everything.
@jwvansteenwyk@FeserEdward 1) I never claimed otherwise.
2) The Hebrews who went to war also weren't the authors of life.
3) God never commands evil. As such, if He commanded total war then there must be situations where it is necessary.
@Bearistotle1337@DunsScotusPhD@FeserEdward So Russia mobilizing first gave Germany the right to invade France and nuetral Belgium? Gave Germany the right to murder civillians (many documented cases)? Mobilization also doesn't equal invasion, it means preparing troops in your own area. Attacking west isn't defending east.
@Bearistotle1337@DunsScotusPhD@FeserEdward Finally, the greatest argument against a conditional surrender: WW1. Germany was not forced to an unconditional surrender. 20 years later we got an even more brutal WW2. Unconditional surrender deprives your enemy from commiting future conflicts for a long long time.
@Bearistotle1337@DunsScotusPhD@FeserEdward You may have noticed that the aftermath of WW2 in Japan has gone very well. No major aggression in nearly 80 years, same for Germany. It seems that unconditional surrender to America and her allies has been good for the world.
@Bearistotle1337@DunsScotusPhD@FeserEdward Yes, negotiate a surrender that would have left them with power in order to carry out their ambitions at a later date. Why allow a war mongering faction to remain in power and risk the next generation of Americans to fight a brutal war that you could prevent?
@Bearistotle1337@DunsScotusPhD@FeserEdward It's even more odd to assume it would've gone any differently. It is easy to make up stories and theories that cannot be tested. Also, the Soviets had no interest in negotiating for Japan, they wanted revenge for their losses to Japan earlier in the century.
@NoPanicComics@FeserEdward You're right. Israel should've been nice, allowed those that swore Death to Isreal to carry on, and then let their children and grandchildren suffer future October 7 like attacks instead of rooting their enemies out now. Then we could be moral and our children can suffer brutally
@Bearistotle1337@DunsScotusPhD@FeserEdward They also nearly deposed the Emperor in a coup because a major faction of Japan, which included many top military officers, was against any form of surrender.
