I can't really count the usa being "victorious" against the native americans
way too much stuff got sacrificed for it to be called a victory rather than an empty truce
we were still the only faction left over to properly record history
yeah, but we used an atomic weapon against them. twice.
we were in full flex to build more, too
which had a death toll of around 200,000 and I'd add 300,000 at most for victims radiation problems, which is still much less than six million
it's sort of irrelevant to your point, though, because I'm pretty sure the general consensus is that it was the wrong thing to do

Many German soldiers and citizens did not know about the concentration camps.

yahtzee said something like that, that it loses the impact of it's moral quandry considerinv you HAVE to do the terrible things. For what it is, though, i think it was an intrresting concept for a game
you shouldn't go to zero punctuation for reviews because in zero punctuation, yahtzee is first and foremost a comedian.

the morality of nuking japan seems 50/50 from what I've read and heard though

it makes for a very interesting debate topic

Also nightfox, your assuming that all the national socialists had the same morals and beliefs as american soldiers did. If that were the case, every national socialist would have attempted to assassinate Riddler. The national socialists believed that they were the master race. They believed that they were the only ones worthy of living or being treated as an equal. And they believed this way of thinking to be moraly and ethicaly correct. So their loyalship and belief in Riddler was the same as the U.S soldiers loyalty and belief in america and its president. The bad guy never sees himself as bad (besides wreck it ralph and his fellow bad guy friends). War is basicaly two sides who are neither right nor wrong. It all depends on who's side your on.

also I believe that the atomic bombings against japan are a great tragedy.  Its my understanding that japan was not going to stop fighting us until they had used up nearly all their army and civilians. If the bombings never happened im sure the war would have lasted for a few more years at the least. There were other more less destructive ways we could have ended the war, but given the obvious benifits to science and physics that the development of the nuclear bomb has contributed, I think that we did what we saw was most effective, And are also sorry for the damage dealt

uhh not entirely

Honestly I think FPS companies are paid to put out propaganda against nations; Only recently China was inserted as an enemy in modern games. Haven't you noticed that the USA was never depicted as the bad guys?
This isn't some secret. They are making games targeted towards an American audience and the United States is the dominant military power in the world so of course they will be the focus. And the reason China is being depicted as our enemy is because they are.

well then america is about the dumbest nation in the world cos we are literally giving them our money and natural resources in return for cheap, "made in china" products.

I dont read the news but I havnt noticed any real threats from china. I think we are mainly against those darn middle eastern countries and korea.

no, we're just taking advantage of the fact that their people work for cheap. being made in china doesn't mean something has cheap build quality though. for example, look at iphones. they're made in china

and mutually assured destruction

true, but I think we could still retain the "peace" if we were to return about half our manufacturing back to the states.

true some products made in china are of good quality, but not iphones

do you have any idea how much that would affect the economy

how old are you

The fact that they work for cheap is just wrong.
