The difference being that your question delves into relatively modern politics, and not of the best of kinds either (if there is such a thing). This is still a sensitive issue for many nations, veterans, survivors, families and so on.
I don't think this is the forum for this particular type of discussion, but that is just me.
I would not have expected that a 70 plus year old event would be modern enough for posters here to have personal feelings about it.
If that is the case and this is painful and uncomfortable for people then by all means close the thread. It is not worth it.
Oh and you are definitely right. There is little if anything that has to do with modern politics that is ever a good conversation.
