Talk:Italian Co-belligerent Air Force

Defection
This one word strikes me as painting the Italian Royalist faction with an aspect of villainy which seems undeserved. Weren't the Axis 'the bad guys'?

Here are some synonyms of 'defection': falsity ; inconstancy · perfidiousness ; infidelity · fickleness ; deceitfulness · improbity ; bad faith

Doesn't coming to the realisation that your country's been had and then deciding to do the better thing and leave the Axis, then volunteer to fight alongside the 'good guys' to remove the remaining bad guys from your country make the Royalists not the villains? Or does deciding to join the good guys make them bad guys? I'm sorry, but this one word seems to paint the Italians as somehow more despicable than the Fascists. That's just crazy and doesn't strike me at as a neutral tone suitable for discussion of the Second World War. Can we sort out a better or at least less controversial/judgmental term here, please? It's really offensive and I am sure it has no need to be. 2A00:23C7:3119:AD01:24D4:ECBC:2602:AB5D (talk) 10:09, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
