What We Know For Sure That Just Ain't So

America: From the Road of Freedom to the Streets of Fascism

"What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know. It's what we know for sure that just ain't so" - counseled Mark Twain a long time ago. As we kick off another new year, we would do well to keep Twain's wise admonition uppermost in mind.

Why would I say such a thing?  For those unaware, most of the German army that surrendered at the end of World War 2 was systematically starved to death in concentration camps under the orders of General Eisenhower of worked to death by the Russians.  75% of the healthy POWs, the highest number of any World War II participant, held by the allies died in captivity.

Far as the eye can see
Considering those kept in the US, Canada and Britain were treated well, that the majority of those who were in Europe died of exposure, starvation, thirst and disease at the hands of the allies, makes America much worse than even Japan.
A higher percentage of Germans died under American supervision than Americans who died on the Bataan Death March.
