Museum Trip 2

Being at the WWII exhibit I had to take advantage. I've been "taught" about WWII previously in High school but I really didn't absorb it and basically went through one ear and out the other. When I was there I knew that this was a great opportunity and I wasn't going to just walk around looking at things pretending I knew what I was looking at. I try my best not to fake my intellect. Even the simple things such as who the Axis Powers were, was not known to me but I now I do.
I spent most of time at the first half of the exhibit. After doing so I have formed an opinion. My opinion is businesses disrespectfully profited off the war. What I mean by that is, businesses thought "how can I make money off this" before they thought about their fellow soldiers going out to war and risking their lives just so they could have a business in the first place. For example, the Daredevil comic book's first issue had Daredevil himself go and defeat Hitler. Captain America's #5 issue had Captain America attack the German American Bund. Was is that the Jewish creators were trying to give hope to their fellow people? Possibly but my first reaction was they just wanted to make money. A better example was a sign in the museum that read, "Send A Salami To Your Boy In The Army". Kat's Delicatessen used a slogan that a lot of people could relate to. There were a lot of family members that were out at war. Kat's Deli found a way to capitalize on the situation. If the Deli were willing to send their product out for free then I would have a different opinion. In the world we live in, where we need money to survive, I guess that's all they were trying to do.  
Another thing that I did not know about was domestic dogs were recruited for war. That was kind of disturbing to me. I don't think animals should be part of a war. A war that they did not cause. Reading that reminded me of the picture of the dead horse I saw at the Civil War exhibit.
