Gunther Rall has passed

[MrRiplEy[H]]

There are two sides to every war.   Just think of all of the lives that could have been saved, if Capt Joseph Powers, Jr had succeeded in killing Rall, instead of just wounding him.

Think how many lives would be saved if Enola Gay was shot down.. 

It all depends on the point of view. War has only losers.

I have great memories of seeing Mr.Rall telling about his time in the war.

The ranks of Rall's generation are just getting thinner and thinner faster and faster.

But what about all of the relatives of all of the hundreds of British, Russian, and American airmen that he shot down?

Just think of all of the sweethearts and wives he must have devastated, as well as all of the fatherless children he must have created.

Yeah...just think. I'm sure you think about all the animal habitats destroyed when your house was built. Or the pollution to the soil and water table as your sewage lines leach out away from your house. Probably even think about the toxic waste piling up in the ground every time you throw an empty paint can away or spill something petroleum based on the ground. Maybe you even think about the highly toxic chemicals used to make the vinyl in your car and on your house. It may even be possible that you think about the effects of the insecticide you use when you think it's necessary. Don't forget about the little leaks from your car.

Just think of all the destruction caused by a single human through a lifetime...without fighting for survival in a war.

Nice job troll...too bad there wasn't a full thought process happening before you posted your "thoughts".

I wonder if (American) people say the same of Mohammed Atta after 50 years from now.
Back in 1944 it would have been the right thing to do to strafe Rall and Hartmann in their parachutes.

And this, boys and girls, is why we should not eat lead paint.....
