Japan,
 
You have to understand that the little kiddies are getting exited now that AE is close, and raising a subject and views that dont fit their views is unacceptable to them.
 
I'm sure Forum like www.feldgrau.com would be better and provide a more knowledgable level of conversation.

PLUS! _NONE_ of that "Icky" stuff . . .

Coverage of war crimes, atrocities, the Holocaust, and politics is limited or not present. This is not an ommission of error, it is an omission of focus.

Great movie. That's the one where Patton and MacArthur join forces to root out the giant nuke-test mutated ants from the Los Angeles sewer system and find themselves trapped in a Japanese internment camp, where the Russian army, fresh from single-handedly winning World Wars I, II, III, and III 1/2, has to rescue them.

My mind is trubbled that you wuddent care about it.

Yes,

there are plenty of good forums for those who prefer to glory in the skill of leaders and soldiers that fought in the name of honor or country for some of the most brutish, foul governments mankind has created. This is a game forum, and while playing the game, if you wish to imagine the IJN is fighting a war with honor and a generally positive purpose, fine. And if you do the same thing while playing other games as either Germany or Stalin's Soviet Union, fine. But when you are not playing, I hope you can step back into the reality of 1941 (and out of your current views on the U.S., the UK, etc.) and see these nation-states and the men who fought well for them for what they truly were--purveyors of human misery on a enormous scale for personal gain at the expense of others. No matter how skillful, intelligent, successful or personally “honorable” Guderian, Manstein or Zhukov may appear in the narrow lens of military history, they deserve no recognition. They were all in positions to know well enough that they were facilitating mass murder and human exploitation on a mind-numbing scale, but they put on the blinders of military duty. No truly great leader would do such a thing.

I grew up fascinated by men like Guderian. I met someone who claimed to be a relative of his many years ago. She seemed embarrassed at the time. After years of experience in combat, study and international politics, I now understand her embarrassment. There is no honor in serving a wrong cause well.

Patton was a corp and army commander whereas MacArthur was a theater commander. (a very big theater) There is a hell of a difference between the two. For all their faults both were good a what they did. However, I don't think many would have considered Patton to be the kind of man to command a theater.

For that reason there is not much of a comparison. It is like comparing the mayor of Nashville to the govenor of California. Both may be good at their jobs but that is about as far as it can go.

Yes, no good way to compare two different levels of command. As many military leaders have come to realize, you are only one promotion away from being incompetent.
