You have to remember that the German Army was severely cut up after WWII. The Treaty of Versailles restricted the German Army to less than 100,000 men, mostly police officers. Hitler expanded the Armed Forces to well over 2 million men (not including the SS). The German Army had very few left over NCO’s or command officers from the Great War. Finally, the German military wanted vengeance for WWI, so many of them backed Hitler.

This is NOT the case with the US military.

“This is NOT the case with the US military.”

True, but Obama is pushing to have as many foreigners on his side as possible.
