Fort Hunt's Quiet Men Break Silence on WWII - washingtonpost.com
The Post describes how the greatest generation fought the most monumental war of our time:
"We got more information out of a German general with a game of chess or Ping-Pong than they do today, with their torture," said Henry Kolm, 90, an MIT physicist who had been assigned to play chess in Germany with Hitler's deputy, Rudolf Hess.
The American interrogators of World War II got more information with more humane techniques in a vastly more significant conflict. We are not the men our fathers and grandfathers were, and we will be remembered as a generation whose confrontation of a lesser challenge was small, petty, cruel, and vindictive.
