What about the 100,000+ Afghans who died. The U.S. still has 9,000 troops there plus 100,000 private hired guns. That is why the place is a mess, not everyone likes having foreign occupiers.
Ask the Palestinians how they liked that for 45 years.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
