Yes, but this doesnt apply to the civilians. Actually technicly now we are in war, because we are allies of the americans against Iraq. We already had 5, I think, killed and I dont feel more pity to them than to any other soldier. The situation might not be the same though...You said you are in Bulgaria. Say Bulgaria is at war with another country. The Bulgarian military leaders are going to make plans to inflict maximum casualities on the enemy forces while keeping the Bulgarian forces as safe as possible. They will fire artillery into enemy positions, but avoid Bulgarian forces. In this situation (war), to Bulgarians, Bulgarian lives are more important than the enemy soldiers' lives.
I doubt they were. But you probably werent there to check the information. I am sorry if I am wrong.If they were indeed ready to surrender, would you then presume that they were somehow incapable of communicating that intention?
I could ask you the same. Its surprising how the facts we are raised with are different. Makes you think... And I'd prefer to believe the history books from an unbiased country rather than these from a biased one. What I have heard of is "The valiant death of the 100 millions" and it refers to a mass suicide (not while killing someone), which of course didnt happen.Honestly, who is feeding you this drivel?
Anna,And I'd prefer to believe the history books from an unbiased country rather than these from a biased one.
Ironically, Hitler's racist bigotry contributed heavily toward germany not having the bomb before us. He ridiculed Einstein's work as "Jewish Physics" and didn't place much stock in it. If they had pursued development more vogorously, they might have gotten there first. Using V2 rockets, they would have simply erased England and Russia from the face of the earth.... and we would all be speaking German today. The atom bomb was only recognized as a theoretical possibility because of Einstein's breakthrough:Thank your favorite deity that it was the US that developed "The Bomb" first.
