“So, like I don’t know several million people in the US would enlist in an evil cause? Please, there are that many people working in the abortion industry, an evil cause if there ever was one.”
That’s true, but you’re missing the point. Abortion is obviously and intrinsically wrong to you and me (I’m assuming from your comment). After 22 years of Soviet propaganda against the Nazis, how many Americans (or Ukrainians) would think the Nazis must be evil when they in fact just kicked the only evil people you knew out of town? What happens in a society oppressed like that is that people come to think that the Nazis must be good and the things said against them by the Soviets must have all been lies since you know they had lied to you for 22 years.
I don't care what their excuse for joining the SS and Nazis was just like I don't care about the family history that had five of my great uncles in German uniforms during WWII after going back to Germany because there were no jobs here. They stayed when Hitler came to power and they had a chance to come back to the US. They were wrong, and I the two that survived as much as my own father and like them more. They were still dead wrong.
