I find it weird that some people think that the authors of the Polish Border Strip scheme to be on par morally with the Entente.

The Entente were not good guys, no, but they were far superior then the Central Powers. Europe under the boot of the Kaiserreich (especially if the OHL is still as insane as was) would not be a pleasant place to live in. Ideally, we should have come in to save the day late enough for the Tsar to still fall, but early enough to save the provisional government. Preventing German domination of Europe was a worthwhile goal overall.

Certainly Imperial Germany was awful, but the rule of all Europeans in Africa was worse than anything in Europe, and Tsarist Russia was clearly worse than Germany/Austria/Bulgaria (arguably not Turkey for obvious reasons).

I'm not the biggest expert on colonial Africa, but wasn't Germany considered one of the more brutal colonial empires?

A good entry, turned America into a superpower.
Question: Would you hop into the trenches and fight the fight?

Can only soldiers and veterans have opinions on foreign policy?

Since they are the ones in the trenches dying for the cause, I'd leans towards saying yes, actually. Anyone who supports a war but doesn't want to fight it is a coward of the worst kind.

So I assume you defer to John McCain and Lindsey Graham on foreign affairs? Both men have served in the military and McCain even served in combat.
