You’re defending these POS?
No, I’m pointing out that efforts to reach them have failed, so it would be very wise to come up with a better way.
Germany, when I was there in the 1980s, had a split personality. Older Germans and the kids loved Americans. Baby boomer Germans disliked Americans and equated them with Russians. This was a direct result of not teaching the boomers about WWII. The young kids were again being taught about WWII, so had context to like Americans.
The same rule applies to the Holocaust. Most of the adults involved in the Holocaust are dead. And just recently, Yugoslavia gave another example of ethnic cleansing. Had Germany been redeemed, it would have sent its military into Yugoslavia to prevent that event.
Only with Afghanistan has Germany finally been able to even half-heartedly engage its military in an other than purely defensive role. And soon, with the economic crunch, Germany is going to not
have the US to look out for its military interests.
So while Germany will never forget its evil part in the Holocaust, it is far more important to have them able and willing to stop future holocausts. Continuing to harp on it is just going to make more of what you called POSs.
