>> [Eichmann] was under tremendous pressure to increase efficiency and it was essential that he do it without using bullets.

What, then, do you think Zyklon B was without cost? Pol Pot armed his youth brigades with stout sticks to beat political enemies and their own families to death. They didn't pay one penny for those sticks. Now THAT is socialist efficiency of the highest order.

The following is SATIRE, so don't you leftwingers get any notions about borrowing this idea.

The next administration could start a new American youth corps to serve the nation. We could call them Pol Pot's Perky Hospice Helpers and equip them with baseball bats. That way they could hold down the Useless Eater problem AND get in some batting practice. The corps should be mandatory, especially for editors of the Harvard Crimson.

End of /satire.

I think you might misunderstand Waggs comment. After Himmler was in attendance at Minsk, he did not want Germans shooting Jews anymore, especially women and children. In essence it was meant to be 'humane' for the German troops who were suffering mental problems because of it and he felt it first hand at Minsk himself after witnessing the murder of 100 Jews. With gas, the Germans didn't even have to take the bodies out of the gas chambers, slave labor did that for them. Sensitive guy that Himmler was.
