I don't know the publishing history behind them to know whether your second claim is true. A lot of war memoirs were published, however, and Storm of Steel's popularity rests on its starkness and its beauty, and it likely would've received that regardless. For your first, Martin Heidegger approved of Junger's books, and he seems like he was a pretty clever guy, to be honest. Maybe you're just a bit of an idiot yourself?

>>85361339
Wasn't me. It wasn't a 'geopolitical game', either. I agree it shouldn't be 'honored' or anything, but to suggest it was just a 'game' is naive. Nazi Germany represented a very real existential threat to the Soviets, and had the potential to severely limit Britain's strategic dominance in Europe.

For America, it was closer to a game. But it was a brilliant strategic decision to enter the war, and Roosevelt finessed the system excellently to essentially go around Congress' back by forcing Japan's hand through sanctions.

>>85361285
Hahaha, I haven't heard his shit, but I know his type of veteran (esp. Iraq War veterans, Afghanistan folks don't seem as gung-ho)

Fighting as an American soldier in Iraq is really not comparable to anyone in WW2, Korea, or even Vietnam, really.

Heidegger wasn't a 'clever guy' by any stretch. He was pretty much a charlatan (I've read Sein und Zeit and several of his papers in translation FWIW). He experienced a lot of success regardless, but so do plenty of other so-called 'intellectuals'. He regularly made far-reaching claims which were absolutely unverifiable/falsifiable, and very vaguely stated. That's enough to constitute charlatanry in my view.

What makes you think he was a clever guy, exactly? The fact that people in continental philosophy and comp lit departments respect him?

When I say 'pretty damn high', I mean relative to peacetime, you fool. Also, it depends heavily on what side you're on. The chances definitely didn't 'heavily favor' the survival of Soviet soldiers, or Vietnamese (North or South).

I have been assaulted at knifepoint twice before. I'm 25.

Most men wanted wars to end. Try talking to some fucking veterans if you want to actually learn about war, for God's sake. Seriously, go to a retirement community, or find some Vietnam vets (many of whom are in such communities now) and ask them how much they enjoyed the wars they fought in. Just because they have some good memories from it, or it's given them an ego boost, or taught them important lessons, doesn't mean they wanted to be there in the first place, or enjoyed it at all once they were.

More or less irrelevant, regarding the sanctions. The number of Americans in China in a military capacity prior to 1941 was pretty much insignificant. The sanctions were clearly intended to dissuade Japan from escalating the Sino-Japanese War in the late 30s.

Like flood Europe with nonwhites, and support Israel, and believe in the Holocaust, and make marrying and starting a family completely suicidally stupid for the average man.

The Holocaust is laughably easily disproven, has been disproven countless times, and has only been believed in thus far because of a monopoly on the streams of information being in the hands of people with direct interests in upholding the narrative. The internet is essentially killing the religion of Holocaustism, and not a single good person of the coming decades will believe in that vile lie.
