    You totally missing my point. Who was aggressor in WW2? Were allies aggressors when they entered with military force (have no idea what word to use, since you do not like liberated) into Germany?

      Not missing it, just not addressing it. The topic wasn’t of particular interest from that angle. Not to me anyway.

      It’s not that I dislike the word liberated, it’s that it’s completely inaccurate in this case, and those kinds of inaccuracies do have consequences, however slight at first.

      Defeated is a good word. Invaded is another. Liberated isn’t.
