Well, it's official. We are allowed to torture prisoners because....get this....the Germans did it in World War II and nobody complained about it then! Think I'm kidding? Nope, I'm not. It's the latest argument to attack "do gooders" in my local paper today.

I am getting sick and tired of reading the newspapers and watching the TV about how the American troops are committing all of these so-called atrocities. They are asked to fight a war with both arms tied behind their back.
Did anyone ever hear the old expression "survival of the fittest"? Where were all of these so-called do-gooders during World War II? As far as atrocities go, the Germans and Japanese committed their share of them.
Our soldiers are probably so confused now that they don't know if they should fire their weapons or not.

Yes, you read that right. The Germans and the Japanese did it, so why are the "do-gooders" complaining when the good old USA does it???
They've officially begun the argument that since the Nazis did it, we can too.
