Well the Germans did protest over our use of the 1897 Winchester shotgun, calling it inhumane and threatening to execute any US soldier captured with one. When we threatened to do the same to any German caught with a flamethrower they backed down.
I never understood how blowing someone up, crisping them with a flamethrower or running over them with a tank was okay, but shooting them with soft-point ammo wasn't.
In one of the Vietnam documentaries I watched a former NVA soldier was mocking the US soldiers for carrying so much crap with them everywhere. He said they found it extremely easy to hit the Americans then run away because they were too loaded down to give chase.
When I was young I falsely assumed that being handy would help me attract a female. Unfortunately I learned that what women want is a man rich enough to pay someone ELSE to do the work. And then she can flirt with the handyman while hubby is at work.
