Young men and innocent people have always died in wars (until some idiot invented bombs and missiles it used to be less civilian casaulties, admittedly). There have been so many wars, with so many deaths throughout history, that it seems bizarre to just bring up WW2 again and again... because it is probably the only example of a goody (Western Europe and U.S.) vs. baddie (Germany, Italy, Japan etc.) scenario. in which one side was definitely fighting the good fight and the other was definitely just being nasty. Most other wars I can think of just involved young men dying as a result of the selfish directive of their superiors. That's pretty much all war has ever been.
