This is actually a moral equivalence hit piece.

I agree. It is both revisionist and a deconstruction of history. Totalitarianists do these types of things to obfuscate the truth.

God forgive me if I say I saw it done without a single disturbed emotion BECAUSE THEY SO HAD-IT-COMING

He's absolutely right on that.

And God Bless Patton for not having these men prosecuted.

I was stationed at Augsburg and Gablingen not too far from Dachau much, much later. Visited Dachau several times. Never thought I’d “meet” anyone who actually was near there in WWII!

Augsburg had a Messerschmitt factory. Gablingen was known as the airfield where Hess took off from to head to England.

When I was stationed on Okinawa twenty years after the end of WWII old-timers there would tell of some of the GI's during the war conducting "target practice" by shooting the children off of their mothers' backs where they were being carried - such atrocities happen -
They are not the policy of our military
They are remarkable because they are rare
Those who engage in such practices are usually punished and removed from service (a young lieutenant who shipped through our hospital had used a sword which his great-great grandfather had used in the Civil War and his father had carried in WWII to run through a prisoner in his care - he was treated as being mentally-ill and sent back to the states for disposition)
Lefties always think others should be perfect, unless it's one of their own, in which case anything goes, as we're seeing with the Obama corruption.....
