How was it a "fail" thread?

I thought my concerns were legitimate and the thread was more about the American militarism and obsession with WW2 rather than the game itself. I just used the game as a springboard for the discussion.

My concerns with American militarism still stand as does my disgust with Americans who believe that because they won World War 2 that they will forever hold some sort of moral trump card.
