Gw, as you point out, real War is inevitable. And I hope in you heart, undesirable. For the pain and loss and suffering of its’ victims is terrible.
May you both have a wonderful Holiday and a Merry Christmas!
I definatly do, I fell more to honor thier bravery and sacrifice then I do to have “pain” for them. But yes, their sacrifices, the things they did, right or wrong, will never be forgoten in my eyes.
Why did you stress the Christ in Christmas?

Lest some forget that He is the reason for the celebration.
Too many people think that it is about Santa Claus, and giving presents, and eating feasts in front of the TV watching some football game. -
Well Said Ivan. I do pray for an end to all of it, even though I know it is close to impossible in this world. I hope you had a Merry Christmas too!

Santa Claus was a joint country invention, coming from mainly Germanic and Dutch influences, but he first appeared in the US in the early 1800’s.

An interesting fact about the Malemdy Massacre, is that it back fired on the Germans.
Survivors were able to relay messages that the Germans were executing prisoners, This changed the American demeanour and spirit from one of “defeat/surrender/retreat” to one of “if you’re going to die, die standing up”.
In any war, you don’t want to put your opponents back to the wall, his life at risk. You want him to surrender, and take the “easy” path, where he can go on being worriless and cared for in a POW camp, that has far better luxuries then he is currently accomodated with.
I mean, why do you think Saddam could never really get his troops to fight Americans on a large scale in Iraq? In either Gulf War? Because American POW treatment is the BEST!
