I understand the mixed feelings, but you know, in the end of the day one has to think of it for what it is, a celebration of those brave guys who were asked to go do a job which wasn't great and that was deadly serious. Should we differentiate because they were sent to fly a Lancaster instead of a Spitfire? No, and I don't think the intent is to celebrate the deaths they caused, but their bravery and courage, their will to fight for their country.
The price of Total War is that we're all involved, if anything I would like to see the Germans doing the same for their fallen and forgotten soldiers of both wars, all in all those poor ** were only obeying orders, it's not like they had much of a choice.
IF there was a memorial for Bomber Harris, on the other hand, I'd be quite annoyed..
