It's wild to see people in real time learning that war is bad and civilians die a lot. As if contemporary wars are the only ones that have had mass civilian casualties. Shit is horrific always.

Born in Normandy, where we were taught about wwii inside and outside of school a whole lot, having grand parents in the resistance. I have never ever heard that.

A lot of the grey areas were suppressed. Because it was a war of goodies v baddies and that was that. In reality war is always baddies v baddies with civilians caught in the crossfire.
