You really think so?

Try this thought exercise. Apply the same standards of reporting being used in the Iraq/Afghanistan conflict to World War II. You would get headlines such as:

"Thousands of Civilians Killed in Allied Night-time Bombing of Dresden, Tens of Thousands left Homeless"

"Thousands of US Troops Killed Attempting to take Guadalcanal, Japanese Maintain Defense, Questions Increase Regarding War Effort" [Note, it took 6 months to take Guadelcanal - the above headline would have been posted after the first 3 days of the assault]

"Doubts Remain in US Strategy to Leap-frog to Japan, Japanese Strongholds Remain Behind Allied Advance"

"US Intercepts Japanese Messages, Secret Program to Monitor Japanese Communications Uncovered -- Privacy Advocates Express Outrage"

"Despite Military Victory Over Germany, Insurgents Maintain Support in Germany, US Troops Fear Victory is Overstated" [It took several years to fully suppress the Wolfen in Germany]

"Germans in War-Crime Trials Express Outrage, Cite Mistreatment and Abuse Against Them"

I didn't read any of those headlines in Mr. Numbers' posts. Maybe you're thinking of someone else?

Did I pass the exercise?
