Surely you are not serious about the nazi's.

Actually... I'd back that up. The average German officer or soldier still had an understanding of a certain warrior's honor. The Germans did horrific things, but they did treat our POW's with a basic warrior's respect. Much better than they did with the jews, for certain.

I wouldn't defend the Nazis, but I think it is obvious that they were much more ~human~ than our ROP adversaries. These muslims are a far cry from even being considered human. They are mere parasites on humanity, and have no honor.

They didn't treat Soviet POW's that way. I'd say the Nazis treated the Americans and British much the way Islamists treat Westernized Muslims - as misguided folk who have fallen from the True Path, but still a part of the same culture. The untermensch, on the other hand, got the same treatment that Westerners, Christians, Hindus, and Jews are getting from Islamists.

And yes, there was a professional officer corps in the Wehrmacht which was undoubtedly horrified by the excesses of the SS. But just as Pakistani military officers today aren't prepared to go so far as to hand Al Qaeda members over to the CIA, so the Wehrmacht wasn't prepared to go so far as to topple Hitler just because he was running death camps.

You certainly are defending the nazi's. But then it was only jews who were the main target of the nazi' ovens. The lampshades made of human skin, the medical experiments on babies, on live twins, the subhuman atrocities weren't so bad, eh?

It's hard to compare one monster to another. They (Nazi's and the Islamonuts) should all burn in hell as far as I'm concerned.
