So far we have read about a conspiracy story, argued over when WW2 started, even questioned the US motivation for joining in the fray. But we have yet to read about the lessons learned, so I've made up a short list.
We've learned that if you use all the gunpowder today then your children and your children's children will miss out on the experience (poor things). We must use more environmentally friendly methods of killing, such as using knives. When we are done with one battle field we must not leave the bodies lying around, rather, they must be placed into the nearest composting machine. When we get an air strike we must water, fertilize, and plant an egg, so that the bird population does not become depleted. When we destroy a factory we must first (carefully), remove all harmful chemicals, then place all the roofing tiles and bricks into nice piles for reuse on another building. All machinery can then be placing into the appropriately coloured recycle bin(s) after disassembly. When interrogating, you must use triple purified water, without the board (skis can be used if desired). Let use not forget to properly sterilize all our warheads, otherwise they may be considered as "dirty bombs". Of course, a war would not be complete without an excuse, how about "Because we could", or the more popular, and far less explained "They deserve it"? The most important though, is that when signing a peace treaty, always remember to use rice paper with invisible ink and give it to the poor along with other trinkets and trash that you could find no other use for. If you are thinking of doing cyber-warfare, remember that micro$oft has already beaten you to it and is excelling at "crimes against humanity", among other things... (penguins preserve us) You are welcome to add to this list, I wrote worked off the top of my head and may have excluded some things.
