Milnet.ca's Fallen Comrades

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old



What is a war criminal? Was not war itself a crime against God and humanity, and, therefore, were not all those who sanctioned, engineered, and conducted wars, war criminals?

England, America and Russia have all of them got their hands dyed more or less red - not merely Germany and Japan.
