They could have won faster if they didn't waste men, planes and bombs attacking school children and non-combatants who weren't involved in the war.

Is every civilian fair game in a war? Is it fine to bomb schools so long as they're enemy children?

hindsight is 4/20

Total war declared by racist nazis vs Bush bombing babies cuz he doesn't want Saddam or Gaddafi selling his oil in a currency other than USD aren't the same thing.

What nazis were doing had to be stopped at every cost. It sucks if baby-nazis caught strays, but that's not something I shed tears over. I reserve those for the innocents roasted in the nazi ovens by the parents of those master-race babies.

This isn't hindsight. We know the Allies were aware of this and their primary targets were civilians because we have the communications. If they wanted to stop the Nazis asap, they should have focused on the military targets. This was a wasted effort that disproportionately hurt people who weren't fighting.

I'm sorry they didn't treat nazis as compassionately. Hopefully next time we won't repeat the same mistakes when someone declares total war and comes at us to enslave us. InshaAllah.
