    During WW2, many Italian and German POWs were sent to America for internment, and treatment, if they were wounded. I have met a three separate couples where the POW fell in love with his nurse, and after he was sent home after the war, he came right back and married his American nurse.

    Behaving compassionately toward your enemy is the best thing an Army can do to quell post-war problems. MAGA is too Sociopathic to understand that concept. They feel that the only strategy is to crush the enemy, then subjugate them mercilessly, because they are inherently cruel, and that’s their idea of fun. They don’t consider the danger in creating another generation of motivated terrorists.

      My grandma cooks a very authentic red sauce, allegedly, my great grandfather was in charge of some POWs stateside in WWII, and one of them was a chef before the war, so he had that guy come over and teach my great grandma how to cook a red sauce, and the recipe has literally been passed down for generations at this point.

      Before you ask… I have not been granted the recipe yet.
