"Before hitler decided to take back what germany lost after WW1...a war in which he was a rider. Between ww1 and ww2 he put in an independent banking system, stabalized the economy quicker than any other governments and turned the country around from major loss into major profit. Between him getting into power and ww2 yeh the man went batshit crazy and lost the plot..... But on the other side of the coin, we have boris Johnson " And hitler built the autobahns,he was a clever man but as you say he lost the plot | |||

"Spicer is "friends" with a number of holocaust deniers...... he is a sick, and not particularly bright guy." Pretty much this.. Trump has people in his inner circle who have pretty divisive views and trump himself has in his business dealings shown he is happy to racially discriminate .. Not the best mix in a country as diverse as the states.. | |||

"I know this will considered boring and be ignored by people who just want to vent their spleen rather than take time to listen or read stories thoroughly, but what he actually said was that even Hitler wasn't that bad thus saying Assad was even Eviler. But why let the mere truth get in the way of a good story? " Contextualising it gets it in perspective. Though a poor choice of words by him? Hitler was gassed in the first world war? As you highlighted...getting things in perspective doesn't release the pack baying for blood. | |||

The context that Spicer's entirely false statement and his garbled attempts at clarification came the day after the start of Passover? Great result for the Trump Admin...your Press Secretary manages to insult the Jewish people - America's most important ally in the Middle East - during their most sacred religious festival... | |||

" The problem wasn't Hitler alone. The problem was the frightening ability of a few, to rile up the masses with information that no one researches to validate. Fear,hatred and blame are easy to influence via media and rooftop politics. It happens even today on many levels. You see it in the forums where people rant, with very few facts being the basis of their stance. I digress. Hitler was a lunatic. But he wasn't alone." Agree, need the masses to be up for change and to blame someone else. Brexit vote has aspects of this which is scary | |||

So we must look at the basic facts and when doing so there are three possible sources of Sarin gas. Syria, Russia, US. We are able to discount the last two as each side has declared that the other was not in the region at the time. Which is as good an indication as we can hope for. So that leaves one. Syria. Then we ask do they have the means? We know they kept 1000 tonnes of Sarin gas after supposedly decommissioning all their chemical weapons. Furthermore they kept the means to manufacture. Then we ask do they have a motive? Well yes. They are fighting a civil war and have been trying to crush the populations in those regions for a few years now. Then we look at opportunity. Syrian jets were flying sorties and dropping bombs over the area at the time the gas appeared. As a legal case goes, it has some merit. The fact that the Syrian rebels are also cunts is not directly germane to this issue. That is for the argument about are we supporting the correct side. That is a different argument entirely. | |||

"Unemployment was slashed by his public works programmes, eg motorways, bridges, ports. Look at the statistics. Germany went from recession to booming in just a few years. War wasn't declared by Germany it was Britain and France. These are facts." No one is denying any of that. It doesn't mean that gassing your population doesn't make you a total cunt. Let's also remember that you had to be a certain type of person otherwise you were taken into slavery and often murdered if you were no more use. No one is denying Hitler was an effective leader of his country, but he also did some quite uniquely awful things to millions of innocent people. The fact he built infrastructure does not diminish the effect of the atrocities he committed. | |||

"I've just been watching the news about Sean Spicer's statement with regards Syria. Surely as someone in such a senior position, you'd know not to make comparisons like this? Or is it a lack of education about what happened in WWII? " It's not just making the comparison. You said it initially. He's in a senior position so you'd think he'd know not to draw the comparison in the first place. Trump thought he had the right team behind him. I don't think there is a single one of them that hasn't lost pubic confidence. | |||

" The winners always come out looking clean. As I mentioned before Stalin killed many more than Hitler in similar circumstances. However I suggest that comparing Winston and Hitler is somewhat an attempt to muddy the waters. There is little more than a tenuous comparison. | |||

IMHO by conscripted Germans, confiscated wealth, slave labour and resources stolen from countries. More of a war economy than a boom economy...even before Ww2 | |||

You know, you had someone as despicable as Hitler who didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons.” I don't think he is anti-Semitic or evil, I just think he is ignorant. He spoke without thinking - and this isn't the first time. It isn't just a "good story." It's a pattern of reckless rhetoric from the Trump administration in general. The press Secretary should at least know how to present things in a more intelligent and thought-out manner. It's his job and he sucks at it. | |||

Between ww1 and ww2 he put in an independent banking system, stabalized the economy quicker than any other governments and turned the country around from major loss into major profit. Between him getting into power and ww2 yeh the man went batshit crazy and lost the plot..... But on the other side of the coin, we have boris Johnson " Never condoning atrocities or war. I agree with above. It astounds me how many references to the beyond evil Hitler yet we live in a world where "educated governmemts" permit chemical weapons being used, famines brought about by dictators and fury that we are not a single Europe. Yep, that hitler guy, completely evil as opposed to our civilised world of today. | |||

"Hitler did use them to exterminate the concentration camp victims but not on the battlefield which is what Spicer was getting at...Assad and Saddam both used missiles against their own people with chemical laden artillery and bombs" The fact remains that Hitler - contrary to Spicer's initial statement - DID use chemical weapons against his own people during WWII...the fact that his death squads rounded up the victims first before gassing them is irrelevant. Whether you gas someone to death on the battlefield or in a forced labour/extermination camp, you're still guilty of using chemical weapons. | |||

Well at least he was speaking factual about that bit at least even though thats not the narrative the media are being told to tell us. | |||

"Are we really at the point of determining which is morally worse - gas chambers or chemical laden artillery?...The problem in the end is that we can all try to explain what Spicer was "getting at," but what he actually said was factually misleading (if not plain wrong) and diplomatically miscalculated." EXACTLY the point I made earlier in the thread. The people making apologies/excuses for Spicer's blunder are relying solely on technicalities and 'weasel words.' The fact remains that Spicer's comments were poorly informed and ill-advised, as well as being broadly false. Spicer's primary responsibility is to act as spokesperson for the executive branch, yet he has risked jeopardising support for Trump amongst Jewish Americans and diplomatic relations with the State of Israel. The issue should not be 'how can we give Spicer a 'free pass' on the basis of a technicality?' The issue should be 'can Spicer be judged as COMPETENT to serve as spokesperson for the US President?' | |||

It's a fucking outrage that someone rounded up and killed six or so million people. It's not a pity. Suggesting that the guy needs some slack because he built roads and some bits and bobs is utterly perverse. Frankly the attempted unification of Europe is neither here nor there as the British have been at that for millenia. Actually thinking about it we have been committing genocide for centuries too.

"World War 2 was started by Britain and France declaring war on Hitler's Germany, under the pretext of invading Poland (which is basically half Russian, half German anyway, it's not even a proper country). He didn't want war with Britain. He wanted an alliance with us. So yeah he wasn't that bad. He loved animals, he built the Autobahns, slashed unemployment " Where on earth did you get that from? Of course Poland was a "proper country" in 1939. While modern day Poland does include regions that were once German (East Prussia and parts of Pomerania and Silesia) that wasn't the case in 1939. As for Russia. The German invasion of Poland on September 1st was agreed with the Soviets in the Von Ribbentrop/Molotov pact which included eastern Poland being invaded by the Soviet Union, which they subsequently did on 17th September. Did Hitler want an alliance with Britain? While there has been a lot of conjecture about that and various theory's have been put forward, not forgetting the Hess flight in 1941, there is no concrete evidence to support it that early in the war. It is more generally believed that Hitler thought that Britain and France had no stomach for a fight and would in the end back down in their support of Poland. Pretty much as they had done in response to the re-occupation of the Rhineland and the annexation of the Sudetenland. Later in the war it gets a lot more interesting as to Hitlers view on a pact with Britain. Hitler knew only too well that with Churchill in power Britain would never come to the negotiating table, but he also knew that some high ranking British (including, allegedly, the younger brother of the King) were sympathetic to some form of negotiated peace. The timing of the Rudolf Hess flight which I mentioned earlier was also significant. Many historians believe that Hess had the full blessing of Hitler (which was always denied BTW) to try and get a deal (and Churchill replaced) before the start of operation Barbarossa (The attack on the Soviet Union which began only a month later) A deal with Britain at that time would have released many hundreds of thousands of troops from defending the Atlantic wall and made them available to attack the Russians. So there is some merit in that theory, but it is only a theory that will probably never be proved, one way or the other. However the whole story did get a lot more intriguing the following year with the crash of the Sunderland flying boat in Scotland in which Prince George Duke of Kent was killed. All of the bodies of the passengers and crew were accounted for and then out of the blue the rear gunner turned up alive, meaning that there had been an extra unregistered passenger on board. Some believe that the extra passenger was Hess and that the prisoner tried at Nuremberg and imprisoned in Spandau was a doppelganger. I think it is one of the most interesting mysteries of the whole war. | |||

The war in Pacific was over, it had been over long before the h bombs on Japan. Japanese military was well, err stuck on Japan with absolutely no fuel at all, they didnt even have fuel for the ambulances after the h bomb. What your actually arguing is how would America have got Japan to surrender without the h bomb, thats a different question. Japan has practically no raw materials, no iron ore, no oil, no gas, no coal, no way to produce electricity, there'd already cut down every Palm tree on the island producing synthetic fuel. Now with no electric and no fuel for industry or the military the argument i would make is just exactly how did they pose a threat large enough to nuclear bomb | |||

I don't think anybody would disagree that the whole scale murder of 6 million, is just a tad beyond the norm for any dictator, but just where are the British built gas chambers located, and when did we move trains right through Europe to end the lives of those who weren't useful as slave labour Having said that, does it mean the Swiss are also mass murderers as they waved the cattle trucks from Venice Ghetto and Austria through and on to Germany | |||

"I am no fan of Trump or Spicer. What Spicer said was stupid, however on this particular occassion, I understand what he was trying to say, that Hitler didn't use gas on the battlefield like Assad has done (even if you dont accept the attack this month, he has been proven to have done it in the past). In terms of numbers, Hitler killed a lot more than Assad, in terms of percentage of population I actually have no idea who's worse. As others of said, Uncle Joe wasn't too friendly either, and we were kind of friends with him once upon a time." | |||

The germans did not use chemical weapons on the battlefield or on civilian targets during the course of military operations.

"Are we really discussing that Hitler might have been a decent guy who had a few "whacky" moments? When the truth is the man was an evil power hungry psychopath who was going to do anything it took to get his way" No, no one is discusing that. Some people are trying to make it appear that way in order to divert the discussion. I suppose this whole situation can be summed up with the thought have you ever said or typed "even hitler didn't....." in order to show how bad you thought something was | |||

"I'm still waiting to hear from the pro Syria bombers where we should send the 59 cruise missiles into the USA for their anthrax attack? Langley? US air force bases?. Whats the best way to stop the us from replicating this biological attack? It seems to me like your all moral and gung ho when youve got your media based enemy but slightly quiet when your confronted with your own enemy? " I would never describe the US as an enemy of the UK | |||

"Wow so much bigotry here towards Hitler. Can't we just respect other people's views and opinions when they differ from our own? And if we're bringing up alleged war-crimes, how about the firebombing of Dresden carried out by the Allies? An industrial scale massacre of civilians. Or the mass allied sexual assault and (R-word!) of hundreds of thousands of German women at the end of the war? And maybe if Europe had rallied behind Hitler instead of declaring war on him, we wouldn't be overrun with lefties and political correctness today." I think the use of the word "allied" is a bit disingenuous when talking about the sexual abuse at the end of the war. It gives the impression that British French, and American soldiers were R-wording and pillaging through Germany. While there may have been a few isolated incidents in the west, we all know who the real culprits were. Oh and given the choice of a few gobby lefties or SS Leibstandarte I'll take the gobby lefties every time. | |||

"I know this will considered boring and be ignored by people who just want to vent their spleen rather than take time to listen or read stories thoroughly, but what he actually said was that even Hitler wasn't that bad thus saying Assad was even Eviler. But why let the mere truth get in the way of a good story? what he actually said was ... and i quote .... "i think when you come to sarin gas, there was no ... he was not using the gas on his own people in the same way" .... which is kind of true because hitler used zyklon b on his own people rather than sarin To be fair, we are rather making a mountain out of a molehill and missing the actual point which is a complete bastard is routinely gassing his own people. But we are caught up in a Pavlovian response because someone mentioned Hitler and the world feels that it must respond along the socially acceptable norm despite how utterly irrelevant the response is. to be fair, nobody yet knows who is responsible for the recent gas attack .... sort of like when iraq got fingered for "definately" having enormous stockpiles of chemical weapons lying around everywhere ... sean spicer would do well to remember that before gobbing off in public I think the fact that people have denied it does not really mean they are not responsible. Unless someone witnesses a scene from beginning to end, no one can ever be 100% sure who does anything. But look at means, motive and opportunity. Syria had the means, motive and opportinity. The rebels don't have any aircraft so how can they drop bombs from aircraft?" So there is an International ban on the USE of chemical weapons, do you honestly believes Russia, China, USA, US, et all do not possess chemical weapons? If its stored it can be stolen. Atm there is no concrete evidence to say either way whether a Sarin bomb was dropped or whether a conventional bomb was dropped on a stolen munitions dump. Please explain why when he is winning the war against the rebels he would choose to drop this weapon. What we do have though are military people saying if a Satin bomb was dropped they would have expected more casualties. However if a Satin weapon was bombed most of it would be destroyed in the explosion. But no one is investigating because that outcome doesn't fit the agenda.. S | |||

"And maybe if Europe had rallied behind Hitler instead of declaring war on him, we wouldn't be overrun with lefties and political correctness today." You do realise that 'had Europe rallied behind Hitler' amongst the tens of thousands of Europeans that would have been dragged off to extermination camps would have been your partner for openly admitting to bisexuality and you would probably gone too for sexual deviency. So would I and just about every other member of this site. Try engaging your brain before coming out with such stupid statements. | |||

" . Actually thats not quite true, Hitler didnt bomb cities perse and he pretty much left the Luftwaffe to tactics. Churchill goaded Hitler into a rage by bombing Berlin for weeks which Hitler took quite personally, he actually moved from his mountain side house to Berlin to be with his people while the raids were flown, he finally snapped and ordered the Luftwaffe to retaliation of London which the Luftwaffe had already warned him that this was Churchills plan all along because the Luftwaffe were within weeks of completely destroying the UKs early warning radar stations and airfields, thus giving them the aerial domination they wanted for a blitzkrieg invasion of the UK. Bomber Harris had not been so eager to bomb Berlin because the RAF were losing planes hand over fist for not a lot of actual military advantage. However the tactic worked, Hitler ordered the Luftwaffe that every bombing of a German city would be met with twice the ferocity on the UK and this allowed the UK time to rebuild all their radar and runways. | |||

"If you go back to the old days like say the English civil war 95% of casualties were military and 5% civilian," Sorry, but that's complete BULLSHIT According to Encyclopaedica Britannica, the number of COMBATANTS killed in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms was approximately 85,000, while the number of NONCOMBATANTS killed was 127,000, including around 40,000 'civilians.' In other words, COMBATANT casualties accounted for only FORTY PERCENT of the total, while CIVILIANS accounted for THIRTY ONE PERCENT of all NONCOMBATANT casualties, and NINETEEN PERCENT of the total. | |||

"If you normalise the inhumane, you deserve to suffer the consequences of that inhumanity." Precisely. Highlighting atrocities committed by the Allied powers DOES NOT constitute an argument in favour of the assertion that Hitler 'wasn't that bad.' The problem is that when you portray your enemy as 'pure evil,' any and all actions committed by your own troops become excusable. For example, the US Government under President Bush portrayed Al Qaeda as 'the ultimate evil,' and used that to justify employing methods of torture - ahem, I'm sorry, 'enhanced interrogation' - which had been outlawed under British law since the 1970s... | |||

Hmm maybe purging some kind of particle media but i doubt it. Bur yeah again its a differnt war crime and hitler never used chemical weapons in combat unlike assad You don't go swimming then? Swimming pool water contains chlorine. Not chlorine gas it doesn't. Next you'll be telling us table salt is a weapon as its 50% poision gas and 50% metal that burns on contact with water" You are just wilfully talking nonsense and ignoring most of what is being said so you can isolate an element of it and have something to snipe at. | |||

"If you go back to the old days like say the English civil war 95% of casualties were military and 5% civilian, Sorry, but that's complete BULLSHIT According to Encyclopaedica Britannica, the number of COMBATANTS killed in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms was approximately 85,000, while the number of NONCOMBATANTS killed was 127,000, including around 40,000 'civilians.' In other words, COMBATANT casualties accounted for only FORTY PERCENT of the total, while CIVILIANS accounted for THIRTY ONE PERCENT of all NONCOMBATANT casualties, and NINETEEN PERCENT of the total." . You do get over excited with all the capitals, try and calm down and read what the actual post was about! The figures are obviously complete made up off the top of my head, thats why there all round numbers . The post was actually about the growing increase in civilian casualties during war, they were made up off the top of my head to give an idea into what i was talking about, I obviously dont have time to look up exact figures of deaths in specific wars for the purposes of a post on a flipping sex site | |||

IN OTHER WORDS, you began with the ASSUMPTION that the mechanisation of Warfare has led to a proportionate INCREASE in civilian casualties, then MADE UP a set of statistics which conformed to your ASSUMED hypothesis, and presented said statistics as PROOF.

"Sick-Boy...this is what you have effectively done: 1. ASSUMED that the mechanisation of Warfare has led to a proportionate INCREASE in civilian casualties. 2. ASSUMED that the data - which you can't be bothered to check yourself - supports this hypothesis. 3. MADE UP a set of bogus stats which CONFORM to your hypothesis, without ANY evidence that such stats may be said to stand as an accurate approximation of the genuine figures. 4. PRESENTED your bogus stats as proof of your ASSUMED hypothesis, and claimed that the latter is therefore correct." . No your assuming, just because i cant quite them word for word doesn't mean its not true!. Why dont you go look up the statistical analysis of civilian deaths in later wars compared to early wars and then come back to me?. Ill tell you where i got the idea from years ago. John pilger,the war you dont see, its an age old documentary that he did for itv but very good. Pilger is a journalist of the highest integrity whos covered wars from Asia to south America, now that was his whole hypothesis and as i can recall from those many years ago his stats held true, if you find out different Id be more than happy to be corrected! | |||

"That was Pilger's whole hypothesis and as i can recall from those many years ago his stats held true, if you find out different Id be more than happy to be corrected!" Actually, Pilger's documentary was concerned with the manner in which the MEDIA, in it's reporting on the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Israel/Palestine conflict, has repeatedly MINIMISED the extent of civilian casualties, or IGNORED civilian casualties altogether. I'd also like to ask one thing: if, as you claim, 'Pilger's stats hold true' when subjected to scrutiny...why not use HIS stats - which should be readily available - rather than PULLING DATA OUT OF YOUR ARSE? | |||

"Why dont you go look up the statistical analysis of civilian deaths in later wars compared to early wars and then come back to me?" Right then: English Civil Wars/War of the Three Kingdoms: Approximate Combatant Casualties - 84,000 Approximate Non-Combatant Casualties - 127,000, of which 40,000 classed as Civilians Civilian Casualties - 19% WW1 Estimated Military Casualties - 8 Million, exclusive of POWs and those killed by disease Estimated Civilian Casualties - 6.5 Million, exclusive of deaths caused by War Privations and Pandemic Disease Civilian Casualties - 45% WW2 Approximate Military Deaths from all Causes - 21 to 25.5 Million, including Partisans Approximate Civilian Deaths - 48 to 59.5 Million, including victims of CAH, war-related famine and disease. Civilian Casualties - low estimate 69.5% high estimate 70% As we can see, the available statistics do indeed support your hypothesis that the industrialisation of warfare has led to an increased proportion of civilian casualties. However, that does not change the fact that your made-up stats vastly misrepresent the true proportion of civilian casualties in each of the above cases, and often vastly UNDERESTIMATE the scale of civilian deaths. It also does not change the fact that, rather than examine the available data, as I just did, to see if it truly supported your hypothesis, you simply made up a set of statistics that conformed to it, and asked the rest of us to do the legwork for you. | |||

"I know this will considered boring and be ignored by people who just want to vent their spleen rather than take time to listen or read stories thoroughly, but what he actually said was that even Hitler wasn't that bad thus saying Assad was even Eviler. But why let the mere truth get in the way of a good story? He was factually wrong also it's a strange comparison to make, the actions of Assad as they stand in the current conflict are most likely war crimes several times over.. That was his point wssnt it? That even hiter (as evil as he was) didn't use chemical weapons during the war. Hence assad is "worse" than hitler in that one respect so Zyklon B is what exactly? A widespread commercial pesticide. Had he used the exhaust from the camp generators to asphixiate them would you be defining petrol engines as a chemical weapon? If used as a weapon yes. Chlorine is a chemical weapons when used to kill people but it is also a useful tool for cleaning. It really isnt. I mean only a lunatic would try to clean something with chlorine gas. Hmm maybe purging some kind of particle media but i doubt it. Bur yeah again its a differnt war crime and hitler never used chemical weapons in combat unlike assad You don't go swimming then? Swimming pool water contains chlorine. Not chlorine gas it doesn't. Next you'll be telling us table salt is a weapon as its 50% poision gas and 50% metal that burns on contact with water You are just wilfully talking nonsense and ignoring most of what is being said so you can isolate an element of it and have something to snipe at. " Nope my whole point what he said effectivly "even hitler didn't use chemical weapons" Every normal person would understand that to be battlefeild useage. Otherwise if we accept your virw that he did then these statements are all also true. The US government routinely kills its citizens with chemical weapons The UK government frequently uses chemical weapons to suppress public protests. Both the US and UK governments use chemical weapons and violence daily on civilians in the street to maintain order. See? It's all a little silly however pedanticaly true. Hitler never filled any shes or bomb casings with gas and dropped them on anyway. In this regard he was correct by stating assad was worae | |||

I openly acknowledged that the measured categories were different in each case; something that you FAILED to do in the case of your bogus stats. I would also draw your attention to your final line: "They cannot be used to compare at all." That's PRECISLY what you did with your bogus stats... | |||

Your words have sense but please stop using block capitals. It is like reading one of the more cretinous tabloids. We are all capable of reading the words and understanding what is important. Instead of adding to what you are trying to say, it serves to invalidate it by appearing moronic. Your points are good and don't need assistance. | |||

It was a documentary i watched bloody years and years ago, i remember checking them at the time but frankly i take the word of people like pilger because hes very respected and spent a life time covering war journalism. Like i said the figures were just to emphasise the point i was trying to make about how wars are conducted in modern times. I cant for the life of me understand what your getting so excited about?, Im working the entire weekend so only have a limited time on the site and i try to use it to find a fuck, then i occasionally go on the forums so time is obviously a limiting factor. Like i said you seem to have more time than i, why dont you look to see if pilger was wrong and get back to me if he was?. | |||

" Point one: if you're going to use a source that you last saw 'years and years ago,' I would advise you to make sure you are representing/paraphrasing it accurately...especially if, as you say, the source is regarded as a respected authority. Point two: it is your responsibility, not that of your readers, to check your sources for their validity, and to ascertain whether they are making the claims which you intend to ascribe to them. Point three: if Pilger did indeed provide statistics to illustrate your claims re. civilian casualties, use those. If you don't have time to look up the exact stats, tell us where we can find them; don't make up your own off the cuff. | |||

"Unemployment was slashed by his public works programmes, eg motorways, bridges, ports. Look at the statistics. Germany went from recession to booming in just a few years. War wasn't declared by Germany it was Britain and France. These are facts. No one is denying any of that. It doesn't mean that gassing your population doesn't make you a total cunt. Let's also remember that you had to be a certain type of person otherwise you were taken into slavery and often murdered if you were no more use. No one is denying Hitler was an effective leader of his country, but he also did some quite uniquely awful things to millions of innocent people. The fact he built infrastructure does not diminish the effect of the atrocities he committed. " No it doesn't but it's like anything take out the good elements leave the bad ones well alone and maybe it might help us ? Also some of the horrible things carried out by his henchmen were the most sought after information by all of the allies ? Who all wanted to gain by the learnings of doctors ? In the camps ? And how many lives could have been saved by the information gathered by experiments that would never have been allowed ? | |||

"Who all wanted to gain by the learnings of doctors in the camps? And how many lives could have been saved by the information gathered by experiments that would never have been allowed ? " Ah yes, the old 'the ends justify the means' canard... Let's see.. Men like Mengele experimented on people who had been falsely imprisoned, stripped of their citizenship, classified by the government as 'subhuman', and deprived of even the most basic rights. The 'learnings' of which you speak included forced sterilisation, vivisection, experimentation with neurotoxins and poisons, starvation, transplants without anaesthetic, and induced trauma. Regardless of any 'good' which we may have gleaned from Nazi experimentation - the Apollo space program, for instance, had it's roots in the V1 and V2 weapons systems - the means by which such knowledge was gained CANNOT be excused or justified in any way, shape or form. | |||
