re: If you had to fight in WW2- Europe or Pacific

As an American? Europe all day everyday. The Western European Front was far more civilized compared to the Eastern and Pacific fronts minus the carpet bombing. Hitler saw white Americans, British and French only a little under the Aryan race, so they didn’t treat us harshly by German standards.

My grandfather fought the Japs in the pacific. He survived the Bataan Death March and was a POW for a while after that. He never forgave the Japs, when he was in the hospital late in his life an Asian nurse came in and he lost his shite. That’s effed up. I had another one who chocked a German soldier to death and I thought that was badass.
