    NATO coincidentally also has a ton of Nazis in its leadership

    According to my lib colleague it’s fine because apparently they said they were forced to become Nazis.

      Which might be understandable if they were lowly conscripted soldiers, but the ones that got into NATO were high ranking officers and other leaders in the Nazi party, many of whom architected the Holocaust.

      It takes years and a ton of personal effort and commitmemt to climb the ranks of any military or party. Even if you did get conscripted, why did you keep going?

      “Help I’m being forced to use my own cruelty and demonic propensity for making people suffer to organize a genocide after I spent years proving that I was the right person for the job! My only hope is if a peaceful, civilized, Western military alliance hires me once this ordeal that I’m in no way enjoying or benefiting from is over!”

        Honestly the thing that still gets me is does he actually think they’d admit to being willing Nazis, especially when Nazis were being executed?
