[Strengthandhonour]

What Italy did in Slovenia was not heroic. I never claimed it was.
I never claimed mass murdering populations of people was heroic. But it happens in war. In Northern Italy near Torino there was a massacre done by the Germans against the Italian population. The trial was solved a year or two ago just now. It's one of the awful things about war.
As far as the historian aspect goes, they contribute articles from books as well. From books such as the great battles of history, of myths and man:Rommel and the Italians in North Africa,hand book of military forces of Italy,etc. I have read most of the books cited in the site and taken from articles so I can see their authenticity.
If there is no morale behind a war, how are you supposed to win it?
Mussolini entered world war II for his own self-fish deeds. Everytime Germany took something, Italy took something smaller. When Hitler told Mussolini that he wanted to wage war, Mussolini told him to hold it for a year or two while he modernized the army. Hitler didn't wait. Mussolini out of jealousy threw his army that was completely unprepared at France and Albania.
I am not claiming the Italian forces of world war II were a great triumphant heroic army. Far from it. Many hardships came to the Italian people due to the complete incompetence of il duce as far as military strategy went. He was not meant to be a military leader at all. I am trying to claim and fix a lot of the stereo-types of the war and their reasons and causes. Not all Italian soldiers were cowards, but provided the conditions they had to fight in, I am surprised they got as far as they did.
As far as not seeing a point in fighting a war goes, what would happen if Slovenia went to war with a neighboring country just for the hell of it? a politician decided to do so? would you fight that war blindly if your country asked you? or would you step in as an individual and say no, I don't agree with this war? I for one, would not fight a war for the blind obsessions of the ruler of the nation. I would only fight for my country if it needs to be defended.
