From a reader:

Jonah, Pertaining to your question of whether our soldier’s behaved like summer camp councilors in past wars I have this story which is my favorite to throw in the face of self-righteous leftys when they ever talk about the horrors of our military in this day and age. I saw it on the Discovery Channel and it’s from WWII. Our soldiers had just captured a concentration camp that had a few thousand Jewish prisoners and a good number of German guards. Our Army medical staff was tending to the the sickest of the prisoners and trying not to allow them to drink or eat too much or they would die. One of the army medics had run out of water and had told one of two captured German guards standing by to go fetch some water. The guard refused to get water since it was going to be given to a Jew. The doctor asked the same guard again, this time more forcefully, and again he refused so the doctor pulled out a gun and shot him in the head. After his body dropped to the ground the doctor ordered the other guard to get water and he complied. Wow, what would Amnesty International and Human Rights watch have to say about that?
