With that attitude I can understand why civilians went medival when after a bombing raid, downed air crew where lead through their town, they where making sure that those crew members would not escape........

Sorry as a former military member myself I can not share your view.

All those things what you mentioned I already listed as sacrifice some pilots did, either unwillingly or not. Read again if you don't believe that, and note how "sacrifice" was written in italics.

After that I am interested to know how you define what is a big sacrifice soldiers in WW2 did?

Also I am interested to know do you think that you can shoot helpless in the name of revenge?

Please answer and note you have 100% rights to totally disagree with me. I am just interested on what you think.



Edit: Now that I read you posting again I can do nothing but laugh. I am glad you understood how people went medieval after being bombed. Very glad. And now I am not laughing. Only smiling a little, but it is savage smile, I can tell ya.
