Now that the dust has settled, what's your assessment of Robert McNamara?

My rating: clever schoolboy with zero insight who thrived on getting high grades, first literally then later figuratively. The real reason he quit as president of Ford to become Sec. Def. is because he wasn't comfortable being at the top of the command chain.

Sherman didn't finish the fucking job

I would've been twice as brutal in his place, hundreds of thousands of bodies later and wasted income that could've went into development, all just because a bunch of retarded inbreeders are too lazy to let their slaves go. We had to go all through that in 1861, a whole fucking war to end slavery like a bunch of keks while Europe abolished it with no hassle 50 years earlier.

I would've fucking burned down most of their towns and killed their captured generals.

GENESIS 10:2-5

"The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. By these were the isles of the Gentiles (not Israelites, not Jews) divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations."

I feel very open minded today.
Give me the most honest to god information about the Third Reich. Is our mainstream opinion of the Third Reich ACTUALLY warped because the Allies made sure to misconstrue as much about a regime we never lived in as much as possible, due to the "history is written by the victor" meme? Or is the mainstream view on the Third Reich largely correct?

No /pol/ bullshit. Give me honest and true information. Recommend me legitimate literature that will give me honest insight about the Third Reich as well if you want.

Regardless of other factors, one of the greatest problems with the Third Reich was the level of fanaticism it required from the population. Nazis will say this isn't a bug but a feature however this is because they are infected with the same fanaticism. Any political system that sets it leader up as a sort of demigod is bound to become grotesque and this is precisely what happened in Nazi Germany. I think modern people will never be able to truly comprehend how intoxicating a Nazi rally was because we've been desensitized by mass media whereas that level of spectacle was completely novel in 30s/40s. With this in mind, it's not surprising how rationality was drowned out by the sound and fury of Hitler's propaganda machine.

What view? Like the above anon said, it's hard to imagine a historical event like that when we live in an era of postmodern irony and cynicism.

That depends where are you from, Russian will have the very different way of warping compared to American or German. The mainstream view does not usually deviate far from reality (maybe except for the Russians), but don't trust anyone projecting contemponary issues into it.

Can we talk about the history and emergence of "terrorism" in the Islamic world? Where does it come from, and how did it come about? Is it a modern phenomenon?

Does anyone have relevant statistics as to the national backgrounds of most "Islamic terrorists"? Is it mostly an Arab problem? After all, there are lots of different cultures and nationalities which have embraced Islam as a religion, and of those groups Arabs are a minority, and then the Arab world itself can be further divided into various cultural/religious subgroups.

The existence of the Taliban should make it clear that this isn't just an Arab problem.

It's mostly a Sunni problem.
>>
>>2953172
Aren't the Taliban a local movement? It seems like a separate phenomenon.
>>
>>2953187
Sunni radicalism got riled up in the face of an invading secular power, with a lot of money flowing in from Gulf monarchies.

The Taliban's form of Islamism is connected to pashtun nationalism, but they are definitely Islamists. The two are sort of melded into one.
