The Not So Greatest Generation

New research has discovered the US troops raped a significant number of German women during and following World War Two:

The work, which came out in German on Monday, takes a closer look at the rape of German women by all four victorious powers at the end of World War II. In particular, though, her views on the behavior of American GIs are likely to raise eyebrows. Gebhardt believes that members of the US military raped as many as 190,000 German women by the time West Germany regained sovereignty in 1955, with most of the assaults taking place in the months immediately following the US invasion of Nazi Germany.

The author bases her claims in large part on reports kept by Bavarian priests in the summer of 1945. The Archbishop of Munich and Freising had asked Catholic clergy to keep records on the allied advance and the Archdiocese published excerpts from its archive a few years ago.

What? You can't believe "our boys" would do such a thing?

Take a closer look at what they have done in Korea, Okinawa, and Iraq, and you'll realize they are capable of just about anything, both good and bad.
