It’s always a little creepy to see the joy and gusto in the posts involving the German military, and the nostalgia for the Nazi formations. On a conservative site. Nothing conservative about Nazis. It would be like seeing pride in the NKVD, in the Kymer Rouge, or in Mao’s PRC military.

I don’t get it.

I don’t think it has anything to do with admiring Nazi ideology or actions. More about respect for their martial style, bravery and ability as warriors, whatever the cause. Same holds true for the Mongols, Spartans, Zulus, etc.

My dad fought the Germans and I spent time with their Special Operations and earned German jump wings, your attempt at insulting freepers who have served in NATO over the last 60 years and support our alliance, is grotesque.

You sink too low in your support for the Russian strong man, and his military goals against us.

I am a little confused too. When I read about the Wehrmacht kicking the Red Army's ass in WWII I have a hard time picking sides.
