The English

Moving Tom Brokaw doc about the English in WWII. How in hell did they survive the Battle of Britain and the London Blitz? I'm not sure Americans have this kind of character but all peoples, at least most, tend to make good use of survivor instincts, I suppose. But what the English survived is truly extraordinary. The war would have gone another way if they had not. I admire the hell out of the English.

German barbarism would get trumped by American barbarism at Dresden, just as Japanese barbarism would be trumped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Wars are barbaric by nature.
Humans at war
