Somehow I doubt it will do much good, but since you asked for an explanation: You wrote

Dear Germans: Do I really need to explain why this is such a bad idea? Put a modern German army next to Israel and they will blow your a$$ off the map if you so much as twitch their direction. They are freakin kidding when they said "Never Again" and some of those people manning the guns had grandparent generation relatives in your gas chambers. The key word here is grandparents generation. Germany has gone through one of the most thorough and respectable vetting of its history than any country in history has ever done. Naturally this is appropriate, but compared to any other country, the willingness of sincerity of Germany to take responsibility for its actions, to teach its children of their responsibility to make sure these things never happen again, and the complete transition from a militaristic society to a knee-jerk peacenik society is unmatched anywhere.

The German government is one of Israel's staunchest allies and strongest supporters. This is the case in word and deed.

Lastly, the entire debate in Germany is about whether or not it would be appropriate for German soldiers to be stationed near Israel for the exact reason you cited: namely the historical precedent. It is a tremendous moral dilemma for Germany despite the fact that they clearly recognize the need to be of assistance both to Israel and the civilized world in helping to establish peace.

Your comments prove that your knowledge of Germany history stops at 1945. Primarily, I would suspect this is a result of ignorance rather than malice, which is why I chose to respond
