Is that how you apologize, butterdezillion-- by comparing our military to Nazi executioners? Some apology.
Those who fail to understand history are doomed to repeat it.
The Germans were good Christian people. How did they allow the senseless slaughter of so many people? How did they tolerate the smell of burning flesh without doing anything to stop it?
Those are questions well worth answering. And I have to say that the past 2 years have given some staggering answers.
I am not saying that our military is Nazi. I am saying that the same reasoning that would have excused almost everything the Nazis did is being used by our military experts to explain why Lakin’s only job is to shut up and do what he’s told - regardless of whether it is against the Constitution, laws, regulations, and the customs of the military.
I have relatives that have a picture of a Nazi Soldier dressed in full Nazi uniform hanging in their living room. He was a loving brother who died in the war marching into Russia, and he was missed by his Brother after the war. So yes, not all Nazis were bad, and all of them were just following orders from their superiors. They never refused an order.
So why the negative connotation of “Executioner” toward all Nazi Soldiers who simply followed legal orders? A little sensitive for some reason?
