Little wonder, then, that the British Public have little to no sympathy for what ensued.

I stand with Harris (an RFC Fighter Ace, one whom can hardly be accused of cowardice). Harris was particularly moved as he surveyed the devastation wrought by Gotha and Zeppelin Bombers on the City of London in 1917-18. They bombed people indiscriminately, including my own Tyneside, Sunderland, and even Edinburgh and Glasgow too.

Do we see a "pattern" emerging, here....or is it just me?

"They that sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwind" .

You kill 1000 of our Women and Children, we will do our utmost to kill 10 thousand of our Enemy. All is fair, in love and War. Hard lines.

No sympathy. None. Zilch. Nada. Cry me a river.

End of story.
The difference is, Germany errects memorials for the victims, you guys errect memorials for the perpetrators. And this post of yours is the perfect example of the mindset behind that.
Better hope other ppl have moved on, as that quote of yours about "sowing the wind" fits to quite a few situations of a certain wholier then you country.
