A Memorial Day story

A World War II diary finally made its way to a dead Marine's sweetheart, 70 years later:

Nothing Japan did or could have done was a threat to the United States. Pearl Harbor never would have been attacked had FDR not provoked them and put his fleet there.

Why did this Marine have to die? Why did any of them have to die? Neither Germany nor Japan would ever have been capable of invading the US.

War is not just a racket; it's bullshit. We never really "saved" anyone, and we needlessly killed a whole lot of people.
