It’s strange that you can say World War I, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, or almost any other war from the last century was a terrible mistake that never should have happened, and that’s considered a perfectly acceptable view.
In fact, it often seems like hardly anyone even tries to explain why many of those wars were worth fighting.
But if you question whether fighting World War II was the right decision, that suddenly becomes extremely controversial.
On the surface, that seems pretty strange.
