Reply #62: The History Channel is highly disappointing; I wish they would [View All]

[barb162]

have a more scholarly approach...but then again probably no one would watch it. Actually I wish they would cover wars from several different aspects and viewpoints and from social, military, political, etc., contexts.

I have studied that war and my father was in WW2 so I think I might have a different take on it than you. To me, you cannot thank these people enough who grew up during the Depression and then went off to fight 4 or 5 years. The 1930s and early 1940s were extremely sad, horrible and disastrous years on so many levels for the US, Europe and other countries. SO many millions dying and suffering.
