Line 374:
** We can also assume [[Token Evil Teammate|Stalin]] was not "most allied leaders", but during the war he was said to receive much more reasonable attitude.
** The Prussian and Bavarian officer corps were pretty damn reasonable. Unfortunately for them, [[My Master, Right or Wrong|they swore an oath of loyalty to Hitler and were bound by that]], though it broke in places - like ordering retreats even when Hitler ordered otherwise and a few assassination attempts. But in general, that oath of loyalty locked them into the path of destuction.
** General Homma of the Japanese military was pretty reasonable. In fact, he was so reasonable, he was recalled for being too reasonable to POWs in the Philippines and was dishonored by the general staff. He was also so reasonable, the Allies tried him for war crimes and executed him, mostly for the "crime" of humiliating Douglas
** The Japanese general who commanded the Philippines garrison during the US reconquest ordered his forces to retreat from Manila to keep the city from being destroyed. A subordinate stationed in the city refused to obey those orders and fought in the city, resulting in the devastation of the city. The Allies executed him too.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Admirals Halsey and Spruance were the US Navy's [[Those Two Guys]] in the Pacific. Halsey was a red oni and Spruance was blue.
