Today is the day when people are celebrating 70 years of D Day in Europe. They are just so happy that Nazis were defeated that they are blind and deaf to the pain and hurt of war. They want to celebrate the warriors who fought for them and won. They forgot or are ignoring the scars of these people and scars of the family and friends. They blame countries like Ireland for not joining the war. "Veterans of D Day" get honour and applause today.
Before I mention anything further let me state this, people who fought in WW II and any war on whatever side were and are brave men. I don't think many have the guts to keep going forward when you know you will die when bullets or worse are coming towards you. No one wins a war. Read it again and feel these words.
We won the Nazis lost. Forgotten are the fact that Nazis were human (don't get upset I have not forgotten what happened to Jews). Everything said and done Nazis did have something I can't point what brilliant military, great ideas or persistence that they brought the entire world to the pace they wanted. Almost entire world against one country. What a victory. Give credit where it is due. Nazis brutality against Jews was horrible and the word horrible is so small to describe what happened. But after victory what happened in Berlin and if you don't know what happened then let me tell you rape, gang rape, humiliation of women and children. This was not done by Nazis lost but allied forces. Celebrate now. I would love to see that.
War results in shattering of more than economy. Everyone loses family, homes, emotional support, love, hate, hope. Imagine that and feel it, living in fear day after day. I am not saying go into depression or say this is too sad. Everyone is celebrating. My only wish is that people just think about consequences of war and makes a promise no war ever. Every life is precious. It could be the most evil life that you have ever seen but the minute you forget that evil is also is a life and you have no right to take it, is the time you have also become evil.
After WW 2 people made the family of Nazis feel so guilty that you forgot that these family (like a child of a Nazi) had no idea of what was happening. Why make them feel guilty for life and make them apologise. It was not their act. Jews suffered again I repeat I don't deny that. Where are the allied forces apologising for action in Berlin. Who will apologise?
These are my thoughts and you are not bound to agree with them. I don't want to offend anyone but want you to think about this and think about future.
