Firstly, the background image is not my own. The artist is listed bottom-right and I have their permission to use this piece.

Will look into the apostrophe. You may be right.

Lastly, yes... I recognize that I'm only including the most high profile killings in this rendition. It's unfair to single them out but I needed the stanza to end concisely. The original Chumbawumba lyrics go "the sunlight dragged me here."

As for Bella. She is not a girl. She is the concept of beauty and peace. The original song, an Italian antifascist folk song, is saying "goodbye beauty/goodbye beautiful." Bella isn't the girl you leave behind to fight, she's the peaceful life that you're forsaking to do so.

We, notably, did not extend this to Japanese PoWs nearly as much as we did for white Europeans. Now, to be sure, the Japanese did not really... do the whole PoW thing. They often remained as combatants after being captured due to Japanese propoganda about US PoW treatment. But just something to note. The "good guys" did nasty things to win the war. We had to.
