It’s a good thing the Germans and Japanese didn’t win the war. Who knows how many Americans and allies would have been convicted of alleged war crimes.........
I just wish we went after the communist prison guards and secret police with such vigor. I would imagine we have a few living in this country.
If I'm not mistaken, desertion was punishable by either imprisonment or execution.........
Or consider that after the end of the war he would have returned home to his family and lived a normal life like all our own soldiers past and present..........
If the man is provably guilty of murder or some worse capital crime, prosecute and if found guilty execute him. There is no time limitation on punishing murder as far as I know.
If he is not going to be prosecuted for a capital crime then just let it go after all this time.
It looks like what we are actually witnessing is preening social justice. Youngsters getting tough on a 95-year old but unwilling, or unable, to make a case that their grandfathers could and would have made if our nation had thought it appropriate way back then.
Didn’t ICE get the catch and release memo?
Doesn’t clean the death and destruction off his hands. Portraying him as ‘too old’ and saying ‘but that was a long time ago’ assumes positives about him (he was just turning his life around, gonna teach Sunday school). If that speculation is fair, then so are other alternatives.
Regardless, he committed crimes and all criminals age.

Bizarre comparison.
Americans and allies didn’t put people in ovens nor in anything like the concentration camps the Nazis had.
What about MS-13? Yeah we know.

Trumps DOJ sent many decades-long gang leaders, and rings in prison. Inasmuch as we know the Deep State has corrupt judges, many like MS13 have been protected. Where judges are clean - gangs go to federal prison.
He was 19 in 1945. Draftable, but deferred because he was a camp guard. That was relatively safe compared with an infantry slot on either the eastern or western front. It might have been a fairly easy decision for him. Hope the draft does not get him or join the Death’s Head units. He may not have been to aware of what being a camp guard entailed, but once he was there it was too late to change his mind. Add to that the fact that all he knew was the Third Reich and his decision to become a camp guard is less incomprehensible. It does not make what he did excusable, but that may put his decision into better perspective.
Oh, yeah, the DOJ protecting human rights like Julian Assange's.
This is pure grandstanding.
Absolutely.
“Willing”?
The world is full of people who say “I would have refused, and taken the bullet to the head” There are very few who would actually do that.
IMO, the war crimes tribunals are an abomination. War is hell, Americans did much the same to the Native Americans. Churchill and the British military did this to the families of the Boers who were fighting to repel the British. So Churchill is the first example of a leader who preceded Hitler, doing the same things. For that matter, they starved the Irish too.
Deportation to prison, special camps, Cuba, or Africa for gun crimes against humanity... This will include anyone who:
The only people who will be excluded are those who are descendants of slaves, are members of either the LGBTQ community or the ruling communist party...
““We are committed to ensuring the United States will not serve as a safe haven for human rights violators and war criminals,” said Acting ICE Director Tae Johnson. “We will never cease to pursue those who persecute others.”
Unless of course, they were ISIS, a Syrian rebel, a member of the Mexican cartels, MS-13, Somalis from blackhawk down, any of a dozen African rebel movements, Taliban, Saddam’s Soldiers, Saudis, Weather Underground, Antifa, etc.
Federal law enforcement has become a sad joke and nothing but a political wing of the left and neocons.
F-Troop, at it again. DOJ is a joke.
These concepts will be applied here by the DOJ and police state agencies against those that criticize and oppose the leftist Federal government policies.
What we learn from history is that we don’t learn from history. Just because the left constantly proclaims that everyone that opposes them is a Nazi doesn’t mean that they won’t become Nazis.
The war is over, God ultimately has final judgment on what happened.
