Total War is Total war, you do not understand it, how it happens or the needed suspension of morals to overcome that which has Zero morals from the outset.
Educate yourself.
Social psychologists might argue it has nothing to do with suspension of morals, all to do with obedience and conformity. Individual morals change to suit the situation. See Milgram or Zimbardo's famous early experiments. Educate yourself.

I think of the poor buggers on the receiving end of that
Well they bloody well shouldn't have started it then.What a stupid question.
If you mean what did the German nation do, then you are asking a different question but I would argue that it's a relatively unsympathetic one as standing up to the rise of Naziism was not a sensible course of action for those looking to provide for and keep safe their families.

It is a stupid question. You asked what bombed civilians did to stop themselves being bombed (and by extension, I can presume you mean 'what did they do to prevent WWII?') and the answer is of course "I have no idea". How could I? I don't individually know the victims and can't possibly know what they did and didn't do.

Trapped between a rock and a hard place. Try and stop it risk being killed. Let it happen unchecked risk being bombed.If you mean what did the German nation do, then you are asking a different question but I would argue that it's a relatively unsympathetic one as standing up to the rise of Naziism was not a sensible course of action for those looking to provide for and keep safe their families.

Your response is a stupid one. Look at the nested quotes and ask yourself who Cotty meant when he said "Well they bloody well shouldn't have started it then."?RobinOakapple said:

Or something else entirely. I care not.

As I posted back on Monday, something that annoys me beyond reason is people who take over a thread with a lengthy discussion that belongs in its own thread.
If you guys want to have a debate on the morals of war and the like, why don't you go and start a thread on it?
It annoys me beyond reason when people reiterate things they said on Monday! If you guys want to have a debate on the morals of war and the like, why don't you go and start a thread on it?
Nature of a discussion to veer of course a bit, no? Certainly I don't care enough to have a whole thread on it but care just enough to respond casually on this one but shall leave it if it's a problem.

Please find an alternative word to start a paragraph, thank you. 
Apologies, English is my second language, although that is no excuse as it is more than good enough to avoid that. I typed it on my phone, and didn't read it back before posting to correct those annoying errors.Edit : Upon reading it back before editing, it annoyed me beyond reason also
