Years that 6 million Jews never had.
Just like the 200,000 Japanese who were incinerated by the nukes.
Why aren't the Manhattan war criminals hunted down like the Nazi war criminals?

Old men now. They have evaded justice for 60+ plus years. Years that 6 million Jews never had. That is why I say a public hanging is more appropriate.
And also years that you cannot take back... Or give.
The war ended over 50 years ago, we should put it to rest sometimes. Sentencing old men will do nothing except tear up old wounds.

LOL. You know the answer, I think you already mentioned it. The winners write the history. War is ugly. The winners punish the losers. The Nazis went out of their way to kill civilians.

The US had a positive goal, end the war, stop the sufffering.

The Nazis goal? Kill everyone who was not blonde haired and blue eyed.

As did the Nazis. They wanted to end the war, stop the suffering....I notice how you conveniently avoid the nukes, Ace High. It happened though. The US war heros were nothing but war criminals themselves.
Anyway, I'm repeating myself. A sure sign that I'm getting bored of the thread.

There's the problem.. We're talking about two different people.
I thought you called Jews cowwards for not standing up. It is a different case with the military, since as a collective they decided what happens.. I mean Hitler and Himler could of run around with lugers trying to enforce their tyranny.. But they wouldn't have gotten very far.

Reports of widespread torture at the postwar American-run "war crimes" trials at Dachau leaked out, resulting in so many protests that a formal investigation was eventually carried out. A US Army Commission of inquiry consisting of Pennsylvania Judge Edward van Roden and Texas Supreme Court Judge Gordon Simpson officially confirmed the charges of gross abuse. German defendants, they found, were routinely tortured at Dachau with savage beatings, burning matches under fingernails, kicking of testicles, months of solitary confinement, and threats of family reprisals. Low ranking prisoners were assured that their "confessions" would be used only against their former superiors in the dock. Later, though, these hapless men found their own "confessions" used against them when they were tried in turn. High ranking defendants were cynically assured that by "voluntarily" accepting all responsibility themselves they would thereby protect their former subordinates from prosecution.
One Dachau trial court reporter was so outraged at what was happening there in the name of justice that he quit his job. He testified to a US Senate subcommittee that the "most brutal" interrogators had been three German-born Jews. Although operating procedures at the Dachau trials were significantly worse than those used at Nuremberg, they give some idea of the spirit of the "justice" imposed on the vanquished Germans. Virtually all of the US investigators who brought cases before American military courts at Dachau were "Jewish refugees from Germany" who "hated the Germans," recalled Joseph Halow, a US Army court reporter at the Dachau trials in 1947. "Many of the investigators gave vent to their hated by attempting to force confessions from the Germans by treating them brutally," including "severe beatings."
The case of Gustav Petrat, a German who had served as a guard at the Mauthausen, was not unusual. After repeated brutal beatings by US authorities, he broke down and signed a perjured statement. He was also whipped and threatened with immediate shooting. Petrat was prevented from securing exonerating evidence, and even potential defense witnesses were beaten and threatened to keep them from testifying. After a farcical trial by a US military court at Dachau, Petrat was sentenced to death and hanged in late 1948. He was 24 years old.

By the same token, I think that these old men, as young men, were brainwashed.
