"""The battle at Normandy required sneaking up on the enemy. Were the bombings of Dresden and Japan also cowardly?
And in modern warfare, we rarely see troops face one another. Most war is conducted from a distance."""""

Don't think so.  The Germans knew the Allies were coming and were well prepared for them.  Just visit the cemeteries in France and count the number of Allied war dead.   This was a war that was total devastation to many countries and to win it Germany had to be destroyed as they would not surrender otherwise.

As for your opinion on how war is conducted from a distance.  WRONG.  Still up close and personal for the front line soldiers.

Anyhow the man that ran these innocent people over is a COWARD in my opinion and I don't need you telling me how to speak.  thanks
