2. Mickey is good at pointing out that America behaved atrociously
but not so good at pointing out the atrocities of America's opponents during WWII.

Every country behaves atrociously during war, always and everywhere. There's plenty of blame to spread around, no need to be stingy about it, Mickey.

The universal atrociousness of war is why we should try like hell to stay out of it. Limiting the focus to just one side leads some to think that a war might be fought "cleanly" and without viciousness and depravity by all parties. In other words, such myopia has the unintended consequence of making war a bit more likely.

Peace.
