They’d teach us a thing or two about war.
Victor Davis Hanson takes the elites to task in this essay in which he contrasts the political correctness of today with the clear and unambiguous moral clarity of yesteryear. In that far away time we did not ask if Hitler needed to better "understand" us or if Kamikazies had bad childhood experiences or if SS goons who put Jews into ovens were a threat which had been "exaggerated." No, in that time we had not yet been brainwashed into believing in the doctrine of moral equivalence. We knew right from wrong, black from white and we were not afraid to be on the side of the good. And those who sided with the bad guys were considered to be little better. We chose sides and were un-apologetic about it. And it was obvious to all that moral clarity was as necessary to victory as military hardware
