You're not stating any facts; you're rehashing your interpretation of
someone else's dramatization. The only _fact_ here is that you chose to
justify Nazi atrocities, and to defend them with "in war all sides of a
conflict often engage in such." There's no equivalence here - and your
implication that there was is sickening.

No kidding? We actually fired on armed, military belligerents who
sneaked up and murdered non-combatants? Shocking. But this isn't about
whether we shot at U-Boats; this is about your huffing how it's *our*
fault that the innocent, honorable Nazis _would_ have saved our people
if they could, if only those horrible US airmen had been nicer to them.

Excellent. I asked for an end to your rhetoric, and that will accomplish
it.
The fact that you originally spouted nonsense isn't anything horrible;
that happens to all of us at some point. Once it's pointed out to you,
though, the reasonable response is something like "oh, sorry - made a
mistake." You, however, chose to defend it - and your subject matter
along with it. That's lost you whatever margin of respect that I grant
to strangers by default.
